Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

All cell providers block the connections to their picmail servers to IPs on their network. That way they don't get spammers using their network as a relay...

So he won't be able to do MMS unless he is actually on a data connection from his provider.

Although in his case lack of MMS isn't an issue.

did you run the application? it's not just a reg to install with a cab, rather its an application to control your connections.

Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

you can, but only as an email attachment-MMS requires data.

modoco nodata should work just fine for vzw... my buddy who has an Omnia(vzw) sent me that.. so i know it will work with their network...

also to some peeps above, thanks for the info about MMS and WIFI, i guess i shouldve known since i tried to send an email b4 on wifi and it wouldnt do it---service was suspended so i was trying it out that way...just forgot

Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

AH Thanks I forgot to run the app. Went to Verizon to get my girlfriend a new phone this afternoon. They refused to turn off my data, the rep said that the phone would become non-functional without it. BIGGEST BULL**** LIE EVER!

I agree that the data plan can be handy. For my needs wireless at a coffee shop, with a nice iced tea, works great. Maybe that's where my caffeine habit came from.

Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

VZN WILL NOT turn off data on any phones bought after Jan 1 of this year. i had a 6800 before this without data and when i bought the TP in feb they would not connect the phone without a data plan. i talked to 4 or 5 different reps/techs and none of them would budge on it. you can stop using data with the nodata cab but you are still going to have to pay for the data plan.

Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

Yea that is the answer I keep getting. Thanks for your help.

Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

any time. trust me, i did everything i could to NOT pay that extra $30 a month. it sucks but i have found that i use the data more than i thought. i dont use $30 worth but when i need it it is nice to have.

Re: Permanently disable data connection?
 

if your looking for confirmation, Mylt1's earlier post is correct, VZW wont allow you to have the TP without data, thats why i switched to Sprint (besides it being $275 a month cheaper) when i used my Touch on V$W, i tried to switch to my Q as i was going camping for a weekend, and they said i had to add the data plan. so yea, either switch providers, or start collecting cans....
