Using iPhone abroad

I am going to the US later this week and want to take my iphone. Mainly to use it as an ipod, use free wifi etc. I do not want to get charged for anything, is it just a case of turning the airplane mode on? Do I need to change any other settings, is there anything else I should be aware off?

I thought I just turned off the data roaming but read this on o2's website

"Simple, just tap "Settings" on your iPhone, select "General" then "Network" and simply slide "Data Roaming" to off.

Please note that some of the unique features of your iPhone automatically use data services. You may wish to turn off some of these services before you travel if you’re not going to use them whilst abroad."


Is that meaning some features use data roaming even when turned off?
