Airplane mode works: Airplane mode disables all types of wireless functions of your phone. Which includes- * Mobile connection: You will not be able to make calls , send text messages or use mobile data for internet access. * Wi-Fi: Your phone will disable all existing Wi-Fi connections and will not be connected to any new Wi-Fi connection. * Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a very limited range of connections , allowing your phone to be connected to speakers , headphones and more. Airplane mode keeps it inactive. GPS is a little different in nature. It does not transmit any radio waves. Airplane mode can turn GPS off or on, depending on the model of your phone. While apps like Google Maps work without an internet connection , features like live traffic will not work in airplane mode.
