Sony W995 - How do I stop the internet? Costing me a fortune - Please help

Hi,

I have a Sony Erricson W995. I also have a home wifi network. Whilst I don't mind accessing my free home network I could really do without wasting £20's worth of credit in 3 weeks with pointless wap messages etc telling me I have an email or whatever.

Please can someone tell me how I disable the internet on my phone. If there is a way of keeping wifi only that's better again but if not how do I get rid of the internet so I dont keep getting charged.

Any help really appreciated

Not 100% sure if it will mess the Wi-Fi up but on my wifes C905 I went into the internet settings and set it to try and connect using the wrong settings so it errors instead of connecting to the net!

Either this or buy the unlimited internet bolt-on for your contract at around £5-£7.50 per month! (either way its cheaper than using £20 credit!)

What maybe happening is that the phone is losing the WLAN then going onto the 3G/HSDPA of Three. There should be a setting to stop this happening.

And you definitly should get a £5.00 Internet Max add-on.
