You can use a program called NODATA

This is going to be a really dumb question, but its something I am trying to find out. When my cell phone is connected to either a 3G or an Edge network, am I incurring any data charges? even when the phone is just simply sitting on the desk? If I make a call while on a 3G or Edge network, again does that incur any data charges?
I realize that if I go onto the internet using either 3G/Edge that I will incur data charges, but trying to find out if I will when making phone calls / doing nothing on the phone but having the little 3G / Edge icon showing at the top.
Thanks, told ya it was a dumb question!!
Nope...
Only if the phone connects will you be charged for data. The indicators simply state you have Edge or 3G (or some phones show H for HSDPA) data service availble. Think of it like your signal meter for data. One thing to be careful of is what applications on your device can access the internet. Comon ones are weather (HTC Home plug), e-mail or internet.

Thanks, I installed NoData and disabled both connections there. So hopefully that means nothing will be able to connect (unless I want it to). My phone has WiFi so I don't want to be racking up charges on data services when I don't need to.
I think I am just nervous as have heard so many times about people racking up huge bills without even knowing they were doing so.
If I turn my data connection off and have the Wi-Fi on does that mean its not going through my cellphone providers networks and therefore does not use any data usage on the account?
I am on AT&T and have a treo pro...i turned off the data connections and my phone now only goes online in Wi-Fi mode. So does that mean I am not using my AT&T data plan at all?
Just wondering cause i dont really use the data except at home and think i could save 30 bucks a month without it.
yes. (.....)
I have blocked out my data connection at alltel because i dont have a data connection plan and dont want to go over my minutes and all that. So my question is, is there any way to get picture/video messages without the data connection (it dials #777 when trying to connect and fails)? I dont really want to pay for the data connection for picture messages but dont want to drive a Ferrari in first gear.
I'm not sure, but i think it's not possible. Sorry to be so little help.
You can easily stop your phone from connecting to cell data services, under connections tell it to connect to "my isp" or "my work network". You can unblock the data services and just use wifi, I don't think they'll charge you for the data mms uses. At least that's the wafy i do it on att, and i don't get charged for data usage.

You recieve MMS through wifi? i don't think thats possible, MMS has to go through the network.
Do u have a messaging plan? because with at&t pic and video messages are included in your messaging plan so you don't need to have a data plan and.
BUT it does state in the fine print that any pic/vid message over 300k will be billed per kb but i've sent and recieved MMS way over 300k and never incurred any additional charges on my bill (which may be due to the fact that i have an unlimitted data plan but not sure).
Hi,
I sometimes need to travel to places with just GSM. I want to establish a connection to the internet using classic dial up as in 56k modem type connection. I would Ideally like to do this with an android phone but i'm open to suggestions.
Any Ideas?
AW: [Q] Classic Dial up with no PC
With 2G (GSM) you should already have a data plan incorporated. Just start the browser.
If your mobile has a modem of course...

No PC. just straight out dialup connection to connect my phone to a classic dialup network. I currently have an SG3. I travel to places where i have just GSM. I don't want to take a PC with. I just want to be able to dial into a server the old fashion way through my phone, for my phone.

Well, as far as I know, you have to obtain connection settings from your phone carrier. Bhere is no difference between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA, except speed! Connection setting are the same and the phone will switch automaticaly to the best connection. Google the internet for the settings for your location and your carrier.

I want to dial the old DialUp way. Dial through GSM to an internet service provider through a telephone number like a classic fax 56k modem.
GPRS won't work because i there is no coverage.
I want a way to do good old classic v92 56k modem type dialing

Well, if there is no coverage.... this means that you cannot use your phone at all. The lowest transfer rate is GPRS, and it can by dialed IF you have any signal prom you phone carrier. So, if you can use you phone to make calls, you can cake a GPRS connection. I don't think if there is any phone company that allow dialup connection other that in they own network, and if they allow... well, it will cost big money.
So, I repeat: if you can make phone calls, this means that you have signal from your telephone company and you can make a dialup connection if you know the correct settings! Connection speed depends on signal and phone performance!

3rd world country, anything is possible, including GSM with no GPRS . I don't mind paying voice call rates for a data connection.
change the way the question is asked
Background info. I just switched to AT&T a week ago. I can only afford a 1GB data plan (retired). Before I changed to AT&T (stay with me) I had a Verizon "unlimited data plan", (would take too long to explain why I switched). Anyway, I forgot to change the settings, in the phone, to turn off the "Mobile Network" so I burned through 90% of my data plan in 1 week.
I have a crazy idea. I have unlimited "talk" on my plan. So I want to use the "talk" minutes on my plan for my Galaxy S3 to access the internet through free Dial-up", so I won't go over on my "data Plan" limit. Don't want to link to a PC.
Note to ALL Cellular providers: You guys brought the "Smartphone" to market and hyped them to get us to buy them and use them. Then you hyped "unlimited" data. Then we started using our smartphones and a lot of data. Now your networks can't support the data usage, so you started charging more and more for the data and took away the unlimited plans to limit the data usage. Shame on you!!

I don't think you'll find a way to trick AT&T... "talk" minutes use voice connection so I do not think you'll be able to make a dial-up connection using your "talk" minutes. If you're going to manage this, many phone companies will have to change their rate plans!
1GB should be enough for a commonly used: email, chat, news...
