Cellular Data Network services ( GPRS, EDGE and 3G) are costly compared to other internet services. If you are subscribed to those services and configured in iPhone, it may download unwanted data when you accidentally open any apps. Here is a way to Disable cellular data service to save your pocket. You can re-enable it anytime.
When I came back to Kerala, I was exited to use my iPhone. Because I am subscribed to GPRS/EDGE data connection and I am literally always connected to internet. But cost of data service in India is more than having a broadband with unlimited downloads. And now I have wifi at home and office. So I need cellular data service only at road. Even when I am at home or office, I turn on wifi only when required. So if I open mail or other internet applications by mistake, it cost me $$$. I really hate it 🙂
In iPhone OS older than 3.0, there is option to change Cellular Data Network APN username and password. You can simply give a wrong login details and phone can not access data though GPRS/EDGE. But in iPhone OS3, there is no option to configure CDN. While searching for a solution in Goog, I found a app which fulfills my requirement. You just need to install an app and your Cellular Data connection will be turned off. You can re-enable it simply by removing the app from settings.
Just type anything.. You will receive a message that says "Unable to Connect to the GPRS Network" whenever you accidentally tap on online tool icons.
Now in iPhone OS 3, there is no option to manually configure APN username and Password. But still there is a work around.
This is simple than disabling in iPhone OS 2. Follow the steps.
Now, your cellular data access is disabled. You can confirm this by going to Settings > General. There will be a new item called profile, which will say "disabled-EDGE-3G".
You can uninstall it to enable your GPRS/Edge/3G connection by tapping "General – Profile – Remove"

Lots of of bloggers are not too pleased with the new iPad.There was just too much hype over it and alot people got disapointed.You see, I actually see lots of the awesome potential of the gadget. Third-party soft for doing tunes, games, newsprints and magazines and FFS books, all sorts of cool stuff, but IMHO they just didn't really sell it right (aside from the books). It looks kinda not finished
just installed it. hope it works! thank you!
