Sharon: No matter what carrier or plan you’re on, you need to have fixed-rate data plan. Not using the internet really negates the point of having an iPhone!

The only way I can think of to stop the phone connecting to the Internet is to delete the APN settings altogether. That way it will only connect over WiFi.

There maybe some kind of app available on Cydia or Icy to add a toggle for the Internet – similar to the Data Roaming switch for when you’re abroad.

@Bev
To update to the latest version, google for the iPhone Dev Team and follow their instructions. They have a program called QuickPWN which should unlock everything for you. In regard to your current internet predicament, it’s probably worth resetting your internet settings and setting them up again. Go to Settings->General->Reset and use the “Reset Network Settings” button. Don’t “Reset All” unless you want to wipe your iPhone completely! Again, these aren’t problems I’ve experienced myself so that’s the best advice I can offer. I hope it helps.

Thanks. Checked my version and its 2.0.2. how can i get the lastest version and will it mess up what little i can use now.

but now i have another problem. Not sure how it happened but now cannot access the internet. Whenever i try to access safari, I get the message: could not activate cellular data network. I have checked my settings, Cellular Data Network and have the following details: general.t-mobile.uk, user, wap

when i try to access the carrier is just searches but never comes up with any options.
