iPhone 3G without Unlimited data Q

Hi

I passed my old iphone 3G to a friend who is on a o2 £25 600 min 3000 text contract but does not include unlimited data and she does not wan't a huge bill at the end of the month. What she would like if possible is to use the phone for Calling, Texting and to connect to wifi when she gets home and not to have internet everywhere and anywhere is there a setting in the phone to be able to turn it off.

Thanks

Patrick

There's a bit in the phone where you put in the login and password for data, just change that so its wrong and it shouldn't be able to access 3G or Edge.

Add the data bolt-on to the contract.

Thanks that stopped it from working

So that will save me from adding the data bolt-on to the contract?

What is the point of an iPhone 3G that cannot access EDGE or 3GT. The bolt-on is so cheap it's silly not to get it, and she could then use the phont properly.

^seems silly to justify spending £7.50 a month just because it's cheap

An iPhone without data access? What's the point (unless it's just used to pose.

). Seriously. The iPhone is not very good as a phone and brilliant as a mobile data device.

As said above, mobile data on the iPhone is the best part. If you've already spent money on the phone and contract then the £7.50 for mobile data will be the best money you spend.
