> I also remember having a habit of keeping mobile data off during the 3G days. Guess it's not feasible anymore. The biggest problem I've found lately with cell data off is that group texting breaks in weird ways. Most group texting is apparently MMS based, which is "Here's a text telling the phone to go download something from somewhere." If you've got data off, those end up queued weirdly, and can make group messages appear radically out of order when you get a data connection again. Group texting is hard when you get into the weeds of it.
