    As far as I'm aware, it can't be done. Perhaps this post will bump it up and one of the tecchie types can confirm.

    The quick solution of course is to delete the settings, but any kid with Internet access nowadays knows they can get a quick text message with the settings sent through to them.

    Alternatively, if it is just a case of getting a phone for calls, take the Samsung back and get them an even cheaper phone without WAP access? There must be plenty out there without WAP that are cheaper than an E250. This is one example:
