International Roaming Features

I'm planning a trip to France next week and expect to receive just a few phone calls and texts while there.  I don't need data service and don't want to pay $10/day for Global Travel Pass.  My international roaming is turned off.  The Xfinity information says that I can make phone calls and texts at the pay as you go rates with this setup,  but it doesn't say if I can receive calls or texts while there.  Does anyone know the answer to this?
