Using iPhone on Verizon on this trip?

We are taking this trip next January. Any guidance on using a cell phone would be appreciated. Desire to keep it on for Emergency Calls only and no data to be used except on wi-fi. Tried that in the Netherlands and Belgium and got whacked with 146 MB of data usage. Something must have been using data in the background.

    How about WhatsApp, it’s free, I regularly use it to speak, text and send photos to a friend in England, in fact she is in Ireland right now and she used WhatsApp to communication with me yesterday. Her daughter travelled round the world for a year as a student and that is what they used, including Thailand which is near enough to your destinations. We took this tour this passed February and loved it Ed!

    Thanks British. We do use WhatsApp and FaceTime (Video and voice) and that's all on wi-fi. I was looking for a way to keep the cell phone ON for emergency calls but not get slammed with data charges. Glad to hear that you loved this trip.
