1259699	2012-02-18 01:15:00	I have a Galaxy S2 that I want to take to the US to use on available wifi (also a handy camera), so no roaming incurring data charges. Is is just a case of not turning on Data Roaming, or should I also turn off 'Use packet data'? I also randomly wondered whether the phone would work as a wifi device if I just removed the sim? Any input appreciated especially from experience in this sort of thing. thanks	Erger (10062)

Took the Sim out earlier and no problem connecting to home wifi and using the browser but will try gmail and maps as they are the only other 2 I need really	Erger (10062)
