Disabling Data Connection

[Menzo]

Hi All,

I'm traveling from the US (Cingular 8525) to England and Ireland next week. I spoke with the AT&T guys and they said it's quite expensive for data usage there if I'm internationally roaming. I'm currently running WM6 Black Shadow at the moment (which changes frequently). Is there a surefire way to disable the data connection so that even if I accidentally hit my Internet Explorer button or my email tries to sync, it's blocked? Ideally this would be some switch I could easily toggle. Also, does anybody have an idea how much text messages would be if I sent or received them while abroad?

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Check out Paul at modaco. He's written an app, IIRC, that does this.

Easiest thing to do......delete your GPRS settings?? (obviously write them down)

Even easier ... You can set up a connection in settings->connections->connections with obviously incorrect values for AccessPoint (none.att), username (nobody@nowhere.com) and password (wrongpw), and then set that as the locked connection while you're traveling. Then you can easily toggle it on & off as needed.

BTW, This thread shouldn't be in the WM6 Forum. Would have fit better in the General Hermes section, I think, where mikechannon would've been happy to assist.
