From what I read Wi-Fi is always the default. If it's not available it will try to use GPRS.

Since I don't have a data package, I called Rogers and they blocked the data for me so I don't get charged everytime it tries.

Wifi is not default on any phone. Hello ? Cell phones , we are talking about. The Acarriers make their money getting you to sign up for data plans, or charging you per kilobyte. Why would they want to sell aphone that uses a free wifi connection as the default connection.

That said , use No Data, it turns off your data connection and only allows the phone to connect through wifi,

Thanks for the program! I really needed this program! Though i still have a small problem, because i cannot get my emails via Seven, even though the wifi is active, and is the ONLY internet connection.
