Yes, you can as long as you are using Wi-Fi. There will be a charge for any calls or texts sent & received with roaming turned off unless your mobility plan includes U.S. calling & texting. You can avoid calls & text charges with roaming off.
If you want to avoid all charges, then, I would also turn on Airplane Mode. You won't be able to send or receive text messages or phone calls, or use data services, but you could connect to a Wi-Fi network to check your email or browse the internet. If your phone is in airplane mode, you will NOT receive a roaming notification text message.
