Auto connecting to data plan-how to change setting?

[staged2]

When i insert my SIm card and set up my data plan on Cingular-AT&T my connection turns on automatically without me starting it. How can I turn this off? I do not want it to turn on automatically...

You can set up a dummy connection setting, and switch to the dummy when you do not want to use the data plan. It would still allow you to make and receive call, but you can't surf the net or use email using the data connection (of course you could still use WIFI to surf the net, use email, update weather, etc).

They may be more elegant way, but this is the way I use when I'm dangeriously approaching my download quota limit.

WHy does it auto connect by itself? The unit will be sitting on my desk and I look at it and its connected.

Can I make a setting that only connects manually like on my HTC touch phone?


Is this a push email setting?

it'll depend on what you're running, htc weather will auto update, as will several others.

Paul at modaco has written a piece of software to easily switch between no data and data.
