Hi Marcus,

But turning the device into flight mode and then turning on the WiFi does
not turn on cellular (SMS/Phone calls).

Most android devices I have seen have a separate toggle for just turning
mobile data on/off, so that you can have the data off (when you are on a
low data plan) but still send/receive SMS/phone calls.
