Will I get texts in airplane mode?

When your phone is in airplane mode, it essentially shuts off all communication with the outside world. This means that any messages you receive will not be delivered to your device until you turn off airplane mode and reconnect to a cellular or Wi-Fi network.

In situations where a power source isn't available, turn airplane mode on to stretch your device's precious battery life. Just remember that airplane mode disables your access to cellular data, so don't expect to be able to send text messages or make cell phone calls in this battery-saving mode.

While it depends on your device, most modern phones allow you to use Wi-Fi even when in airplane mode. When you enable airplane mode, Wi-Fi will shut off, but you can enable it again manually. In some cases, Wi-Fi might not shut off when you turn on airplane mode in the first place.

Airplane mode is recommended because it allows you to turn off all communication-generating apps and call functions at once.

You can use airplane mode to avoid roaming charges when travelling. You won't be able to send or receive text messages or phone calls, or use data services, but you could connect to a Wi-Fi network to check your email or browse the internet.

Airplane mode turns off all your phone's radio connections (cellular, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi), but apps that don't require an internet connection will continue to use data. Your best bet to avoid expensive roaming charges is to turn off data roaming or — even better — use a prepaid data plan.
