Can I use my cell phone abroad?

I know I cannot use it for calls or texts, but what about using it as a camera?

Can I bring my phone to another country and just use the camera?  Or will I be charged a lot of money because I am overseas?

If you just want to use the camera, just put it in airplane mode.  All data and communication-based functions are shut off.
