Default SGS 2 packet data (3G/3.5G) data usage

Please bear with me. This is not new about the data usage.

The data traffic generated from my SGS 2 is costing me a lot that I had to disable the Data Network Mode. I simply need to use packet data to send and receive MMS and sometime for Assisted GPS.
How can I control packet data (3G/3.5G) data traffic?
And
How can I restrict it to certain usage (e.g MMS and AGPS)?

Thanks for your help.

Guys... thanks for all your replies.

I guess I found a solution and I would like to share it with you.
Simply I installed SmartAPN and that solved the problem for me.
I switched Data Network Mode on and I disabled Data and enabled MMS.
