As a new user trying to defeat the Cell company trying to shove as much data as possible thru their cell tower at me to bloat my cell bill, I find I need to use 4 free apps across the top on my home page, to keep my android phone hooked to my home WiFi, and OFF the cell tower data bill charges as much as possible.

APN OnOff (CurveFish) - to keep MMS enabled (texts)

APNdroid (Martin Adamek) to CLEARLY show that Cell tower access is ON/OFF (green/Red)

WiFi OnOff Widget (CurveFish) to CLEARLY show WiFi is On/Off on the desktop

KeepWiFi (BK Mobility) to CLEARLY show WiFi is on in the desktop top bar (BK Mobility).

How do you pros handle this $$$ OUCH! problem?
 
just put it in airplane mode! then use wifi when you have it.

i take it this phone is on contract. ouch. it's better on payg you just buy a weekly or monthly data ("unlimited") from your top-up which is cheap. then stop worrying.

there are also, in settings, "data manager" & "battery manager" where you can choose how & when it connects to save data (& battery, obv).

if i were u i'd just get an ipod touch (wifi only) or stick you phone in airplane mode.
