How to turn off GPRS/WAP in iPhone? - GSM-Forum

https · 07-21-2010, 16:13

I have a prepaid card that costs me around 5US$ per MB data. That's way too much and they don't have a data offer. I don't need Internet out of WiFi reach and phone calls are cheap.

I know where to switch off 3G (UMTS). But how can I switch off GPRS (WAP) completely?

I found a setting called "Cellular data". Is that enough? Or will there still be push notifications etc. that make connections?

Thanks dodzkie. Good link. Just some info: When I click on "Disable Data (Fake APN)" there, it just tells me that I should use Settings -> General -> Network and turn off "Cellular Data" option. This is what I asked in my original post.

For the other option there "Custom APN", my provider isn't listed. It looks like I have to read some more about APN. But all that seems to confirm that "Cellular Data" is the setting I was looking for. Thanks.
