Just noticed I've used 800 MB again this month 2-22 Oct and tested the phone around my house last night and noticed when watching youtube/downloading podcasts and updating apps if the phone drops the wifi it doesn't seem to reconnect and carries on downloading via 3G which is obviously chewing through data....

I'm trying here to find a way for the phone to message me when it loses the wifi connection so I can cancel the updates.

My internet connection is weak in some parts of the house and I presume it's dropping the signal and then carrying on in 3G since the signal is stronger.

However I can't continue using all my dataplan on downloading stuff at home :(

Any suggestions or tip for this. Would be great if on dropping wifi it paused the download to wait for my ok to continue on 3G!
 
Just checked and it's off !!!

How the hell could i have used 800MB in 20 days ? ???

Even presuming I lose connection now and again :(


Suppose the "longwinded" workaround which I've been trying to remember to do is go to

Settings -> General -> Cellular -> and turn cellular data off each evening when I get home from work :(
