Yes, I understand that BUT this would mean ANYONE with a similar phone can be reached in any country without paying for a calling plan. That is what I assumed but I am not sure it would be that simple.

If true why worry about renting a phone (except for on the road use) or paying a daily or monthly fee...as long as you have wifi you are good to go

Skype is one thing but this is without ANY provider....

Sounds WAAAY too simple to me...

..and airplane mode DOES disable wifi by default...you have to turn it back on after going into airplane mode
