Blocking UMTS or EDGE connections

[Rocketman]

Hello. I've been having a problem with some internet connections I have not made. I was charged by TIM Italy with a load of supposed data accesses worth 80 euros, and that's how they made me aware of their *******y policy of not stopping charges even if you run out of pre-paid credit. They made an extraordinary refund, so I didn't have to pay that, but they warned me for the next time.

Today, while using Podcasts, I found out my naughty little n95 connecting to the EDGE network when I was even on a wifi spot (I try only to connect through those). I had to stop it twice. I had installed Shozu and Podcasts, and I would blame them, even though I configured them only to access through hotspots. That's what annoys me the most.

Today I disinstalled podcasts because after charging it with 10 euros two days ago, now I ran out of credit. I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, when I connect to the internet, I always pick an AP and no other way of access.

Is there a way of blocking any UMTS - EDGE data connection AT ALL?

I'm not familiar with those applications, but almost always there will be a 'Connection' option in the 'Settings' of the application - There you will see a list of the pre-setup connections in your phone (Including WiFi connections and GPRS/GSM connections)

From there, select your WiFi connection from the list if you see it

OR

Select 'Easy WLAN' or 'Ask every time' and you will be able to select your WiFi connection each time you use the applications

As to blocking the connections, you can disable 3G/UMTS completely by going to:

Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Phone -> Network -> Network Mode -> Select 'GSM'
