Silent mode allows your phone to access network but mutes every sound from the phone. This allows you to be able to see phone calls from people that tried to contact you later on, as opposed to airplane mode, where your phone is completely offline. Except you turn it o ff also, the silent mode would however still allow your phone to vibrate so you know the instant a message or call enters your phone.
