turn off sprint internet only

I'm sure there's an easy way to turn off internet through sprint? how am I missing it?

I'm travelling to china, and would like to keep texting and phone available, but want to turn off internet, so I don't have any random apps that update trying to connect and charging me up the wazoo for international data...

Is this possible somehow?

I just got back from a trip to Mexico, and had the same question. I found this app from Modaco called NoData. It worked perfectly.

And, don't forget that you can still use wifi. Wifi + skype = my good pal when traveling internationally.

thanks for the tip! is there a ppc version of skype to use the ppc like anormal phone over wifi? I've never really messed with skype before.

hmm, the only options i have available is "phone as modem" and "sprint pcs" and when i disable sprint pcs it kills the whole phone...
