I believe what you are seeing is the indicator that shows when you are in an Edge coverage area - similar to your bars that indicate signal strength for making calls (that are there even if you are not making a call). As long as you don't use any data you will not be charged for any.

What appz do you have installed? I personally had forgot to tutrn off the 'auto-update' feature on GooSync before and it auto-conected to edge (or attempted to anyways) on it's own. I believe you may have a similar issue with a app trying to phone-home or something of the like. . . . .

The good thing is, if that is the case, it's not going actually get to connect to anything (typically speaking) so chances are great you've nothing to worry about.

I don't have a data plan either, you can prevent your phone from connecting to edge/3g by installing this .cab file

"MoDaCo_NoData-SNE.CAB"

Here is a direct link to download it. After you place the file on your phone, use file explorer to open and install it. It's very simple.

Thank you everyone for your Quick and prompt reply.

I figured it out! it was my Email Account i had setup in my Wing, All i had to do is disable the Auto Send/Receive feature. For some reason after the phone connects to the edge network to check for emails it wouldn't or couldn't disconnect itself...
