hi
ive got an iphone 3g which is unlocked and i have a three sim in there. is it possible for me to disable using the internet from the service provider and onlyconnect through wifi as my bill is gone quite high from using the internet from my service provider.


ive browsed the internet before posting thisbut cant seem to find any help.
 
Yes - you could probably just delete the APN settings from Settings - General - Network - Cellular Data Network. This will prevent your device from connecting to your carriers data network, but if you enable WiFi all data sessions will pass thru that. Hope that helps
 
Not sure if this would work, but could you not go

settings-> network-> cellular data network-> and the change the password to something totally random thus not being able to access the internet?

Just a thought!
 
That only disables 3G and not edge which will still access the internet.

Correct. But with OP being on 3, they only provide 3G networks, meaning you can't disable 3G. Theoretically, it's possible but it costs 3 in 2G roaming charges and so they would block your number/freeze your account.

It seems that sam100 has now changed his post. :rolleyes:

OP, why not consider adding a data bundle to your plan with 3, assuming you do not already have one?
