"Cellular Network Not Found" is that annoying message I get when out of range of my carrier, but what will I do if I am abroad and don't plan on using roaming? I don't want this message popping into my face every 10 seconds. How will I use phone's camera if this annoying message will keep on persisting? Switch "Airplane Mode" you say? Well what if I decide to access internet through Wi-Fi? Still I will probably see this popup.

Is there a way to disable annoying message without enabling "Airplane Mode" still being able to take camera shots and surf the internet?

    On most phones you can still enable Wi-Fi while in airplane mode. In fact, many airlines now have Wi-Fi in flight. Airplane mode might be a more viable option than you think ;)

    At least with Cyanogenmod it's: Enable airplane mode, then switch back on wifi (or bluetooth)

    Turn on airplane mode then turn on wifi is standard on the devices I've seen.

You can turn off just the cell radio by using the Phone Info feature: dial *#*#4636#*#* and press Turn off radio.
