Re: iphone web browsing help wanted

the iphone uses a data connection for a number of things, if you dont have data included in your tariff then you will get charged for it....

I dont think there's a way to disable data connections on the iphone as they were designed as a device that would require data (hence its included in the o2 tariff).

Could you just enter the wrong APN settings on your iPhone, then your data won't work from the network. However when you're in a WiFi zone, you'll still pick it up.

Try reading for info on how to change APN settings: iPhone: How to view or edit the APN setting
