how can i disable the internet on the phone?

[deehrockz]

hi everyone. im new to the forums. i just recently traded out my l7 for a tilt. And i love it. the only problem is im not on a great plan. No unlimited internet or text.

So i do most of my browsing using the wifi on the phone online. but ive been wondering if there was a way to disable the phone from actually using the cell phone service to connect to the internet. Id rather just stick to my wifi that i use at home or in other locations. cuz im afraid im going to rack up the phone bill.

if anyone can explain how to do this it would help out alot.

thanks in advance.

what you normally do before asking for help is search the forums. The search string "disable internet" we do the trick.


try it (http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&client=google-coop&cof=AH%3Aleft%3BCX%3AXda-developers%2520search%2520engine%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F% 2Fwww.google.com%2Fcoop%2Fintl%2Fen%2Fimages%2Fcus tom_search_sm.gif%3BLH%3A65%3BLP%3A1%3BVLC%3A%2355 1a8b%3BGFNT%3A%23666666%3BDIV%3A%23cccccc%3B&adkw=AELymgWWAHkbOyyOVNIGBLx35BCIG1RiwSpAloyhRKrr4 kpShgezEcqSXWqdTUKYsq1l0fwkePDrXtBaaWqBNBhF4TtH2lE ltt-5f40931LBq-wXQUqa5HATH7L9TyJUwxLIivZK8GRiTh5X55hdkee8nfOQFJzF O8e0r0oRH56hfufAGjqF86a4YgY6BjA_0l6-3kecQ9HgyJv5Gx6xr4Z-DTuPl22sD-RZvFcfen38rp01rhnKdWI&q=internet+disable&btnG=Search&cx=000825531964825142534%3Acqr2sjirilw)

If you don't mess with your settings often, you could simply delete the internet settings. Search as was suggested, but I think settings>connections>connections and deleting those settings should prevent your tilt from connecting. If you never text, ask your carrier to block data access.

i had the same problem and found that Modaco.com had created some software called Nodata
ths enables you too enable and disable all data connections.

i just delete the last letter of the APN so that the device errors out when it tries to use data. will take a look at the modaco.com link thanks for sharing @madgerald
