Hi Tracy,
What you suggest should work. You won't be able to use GPS, though, unless you
have an app like Navigon that can download maps beforehand and doesn't depend
on downloading them as you go.
When I went to Ireland last summer, I paid for an hour of mobile minutes and
120 MB of data so I could use GPS, have my photos geotagged, and someone could
reach me by phone in am emergency. Unfortunately, somehow I used way more than
120 MB of data. I'm not sure what happened: I think FaceTime may have switched
to using cellular at times without my realizing it. If I ever do that again,
I'll turn Airplane Mode and Wi-Fi on before making FaceTime calls to be sure
that doesn't happen. I'm on AT&T, if that matters.
Best,
Anna
