Hi all,
I have a limited data plan on my tytn for GPRS so I tried to use my neighbours wifi connection but. I can connect ( since it is not secured) but when I click on my internet explorer then it connects via my gprs how do I prevent it and make it wok only from my wifi? Help!!!
Thanks

Delete the connection in Connections.

WTF ?!

Just keep the Red button (hang off) ~3 seconds. It will cancel the DATA connection. Then you'll be able to surf over wifi.

Same procedure with messenger in case of you want it working through Wi-fi instead of DATA/GSM/3G connection

Well:
- start your wifi and connect it
- then you'll start messenger and connect
- it will try to start a data connection
- press red button quickly to stop it
- then messenger will use the Wi-Fi active connection.

This is how i proceed.

Use MoDaCo's NoData when you dont want any grps data, turn it off when you do :)

Thanks guys yes all of your advice kind of worked. Even though the MSN messenger is a big pain in the butt, it is always trying to connect itself. And to free my ram if I try to stop it running, the program restarts itself.

you coud try also placing device in flight mode - this will allow connections via wifi
