Before you get a chance to go to settings app and turn off mobile data, the OS probably already made 10 data requests to check 20 settings. It is data call. Whether the telco should count that as data and charge for it is a different question.
- coopdog 14y agoSo.. change the setting before you put the sim in? And if they don't have data in the plan the carrier by default just doesn't forward the packets
- padmanabhan01 14y agoThat must be possible I guess
- andrewflnr 14y agoThe first thing I did with my galaxy nexus was turn off mobile data, and I haven't turned it back on since. It's not that hard.
- r00fus 14y agoAh, but why do that when you can just charge usurious rates for those who don't have the "benefit" of a data plan? AT&T (and most of the wireless industry) are merely toll-gate operators - they are very good at making sure you pay for any usage - even the usage you didn't want to make (ie, receiving an MMS on your non-data flip phone that you didn't intend - sorry, that's $2).
