Hi folks,

I got my first pay as you go smartphone today a samsung ace.

I have managed to hook it up to wifi (thanks for help in my earlier post) but also have managed to get rid of the £4.50 credit on it as I must have been a few mins on the orange internet instead of the my home wifi.

I want to set my phone so that it will never go on to the mobile internet again and wonder is this the right way to do so.

settings---mobile networks----use packet data (untick this)

Would this be correct?

thanks once again for any help.

    Yes. That will stop it accessing mobile internet. Enjoy your new phone.
