If it doesn't work, the solution about leaving your phone in airplane mode is quite viable. Just be sure not to turn on the cellular radio.

To ensure you don't get hit with any data charges (even if you turn on the cellular radio), create a new dummy APN and set the phone to that. It will try to route all data over the dummy APN and as a result won't be able to send any data.
