iPhone will not turn off and charge at the same time

[Positive Climb]

Hi all

New iPhone user here. I'm with TELUS and bought a 32GB iPhone 4S. When I turn it off and plug it in to the wall adapter, it will turn on and charge. Is there any way to keep the phone off and charge at the same time? All my other phones I was able to turn off and charge them. I don't want my phone to be receiving emails and SMS while I'm charging it.

Thanks

So when you plug it in and it's charging while on, just turn it off and it will stay charging?

iPhone will turn itself ON as soon as you plug it in to the USB cable or place it on the dock.Simply plug your iPhone in to charge while turned ON (or OFF for that matter) and once it begins charging, power it down. If you power down after charging begins, the iPhone will remain turned off while still charging.

You can't put your phone on silent? Seriously?
