Can anyone explain why turning data off would be a good way to get alone time? I know everyone keeps saying it's good that she's alone with him, but no one is saying why this method makes sense. Maybe I've just never come across someone who dodges all the other methods to silence their phone and goes to airplane mode. Unless maybe she's saving battery.

5 Signs (From His Cell Phone) That Your Man is Cheating on You
#2) BF/hubby keeps his cell on airplane mode: This is not a new technique by any means, but it basically means that any untimely pics/texts won’t pop up on the screen at a time of day when they would prove most compromising. He’ll turn airplane mode off when he’s indisposed again–when you can’t or won’t be around and prompted to ask to see those pics.

Is Your Man Cheating on You? Find Out Here
1. He puts his phone on airplane mode when he’s with you, Cheaters do this so you can’t see incoming texts when you ask to see pictures on his phone that you guys just took of each other.
Also, this is the chick who was talking to and had feelings for another guy, a while back and who you say her sex drive dipped recently.... She decides instead of silencing her phone to turn data off...Yeah. Kudos to the other guys here for being more honest in their past relationships, this just rings out to me because I've used the data off excuse and really had no reason for it because it's nonsensical to do if I just wanted to silence my phone. If my data was off I was hiding something. You turn off data so if the other person sees your phone or your phone is out, they wont see a call pop up or a text message or whatever. If you want alone time, you hit the thing EVERYONE does...SILENT/RINGER OFF. This is funny that no one sees it as a possibility; this was the excuse I would use, and my doggish friends would use, and then have to explain to chicks knowing it didnt make sense. Some would actually say that's stupid...you're hiding something. Maybe someone can say how data off is a preferred method for silencing someone's phone, over just hitting the silent button on all phones.
I actually turn my data off sometimes. Hitting it on silent is fine, but when you check the time or whatever and see 10 messages across 3 different texting apps you're gonna be tempted to start replying. It's just easier for me to simply shut it off and get back at people once I'm available. Doesn't mean I have anything to hide.
My girl also has her data off most of the time when with me, but she does it in general because she has some crappy subscription with very few MBs of internet. So that's another possibility.
What you're saying can be true, but when people are trying to hide something they'll be a bit more secretive. OP just said she has nothing against him holding her phone or having access to her facebook or whatever.
It's fine to be suspicious when there's something to be suspicious about. But there's a very thin line between a real reason and one that stems out of your inner insecurities. I can't see this as a real reason.
PS: Airplane mode is a bit ridiculous but nevertheless the quoted article or whatever it is seems to be pulled off Cosmopolitan or some other really bad magazine.
