    Notwithstanding the above pointless arguments I switch my Mobile-Data/Wifi on when I need it , it seems to save my battery usage, after all it is a phone first and foremost :cool: :D

    Yes that does seem pretty petty an pointless.... seems to be habitial for some.

    OP - I believe where possible you device will prioritise wifi unless the strength of the WiFi becomes out of range.

    Does depend on device and settings - I can help if your on iPhone, but not on droid.

    It’s all in the WiFi assist setting really.

    Thanks. Now that I've had my initial question answered, maybe that should end matters.

    A grey area I’ve found is when you think you’ve connected to wifi, but haven’t and instead youre using up your PAYG data. Happened a lot when staying in hotels so i tend to switch off mobile data now just to make sure.
