Nexus 4 turn off data?

I have a nexus 4 and have always had the option to turn off mobile data until the last update. 5.0.1


Does anyone know how I can turn it of as I am on PAYG and it's charging me daily rate to use it which I don't need.


I also can't get my yahoo mail to work, does anyone know why this may be?


Thinking of getting a new phone but if I can get this one to suit my needs a bit longer then I will.


Thank you!

    try 'Settings
    click 'Data usage'
    click 'mobile data' at top
    slide to 'OFF'
  • I have a nexus 5 and stopped using yahoo mail after updating to lollipop as yahoo mail became very sporadic and unreliable.


    I now use the "Blue Mail" app and have no issues at all.


    Also, info above is correct with regards to switching off mobile data.
  • Thank you very much! I was looking in the wrong place, and thanks for the email tip I will try it :)

    The quick way to turn data on and off is to Swipe down from the top of the screen until you see the brightness slider, WiFi etc. Tap the till with the mobile signal icon and you will be taken straight to the page where you can set data limits and turn mobile data on or off.
