I'm assuming everyone has their iphones set to connect to available wifi networks? There are so many hotspots around now that I can almost move around and hardly use my data plan. Here in the UK many of the mobile providers offer free access to BT Open Zone hotspots and Orange have an app which will automatically connect you to them as you move around which is good and accessible. Bare in mind as well with the release of IOS5 and Icloud that some of you may be using more data because of that or when restoring your phone off wifi etc. I'll be interested to hear how much people have gone over their data plans.

Hmmmm.... I think I'm going to have to take a good look at my bill.  I am on
contract for £35 with free minutes, texts and internet access  that I
wouldn't exceed under normal circumstances, yet my bill was £54+.  Even
allowing for VAT, that's still over £10 that I cannot account for.

Cheers

What website were you accessing as most wouldn't download data once you've
moved away from safari. Even videos playing would stop when you switch away
from Safari.

Barry,

Well, this is a little more long winded than maybe you'd like, but you could
go into the app switcher and take out Sophari once you've finished.

I too have as yet little experience of using data with the iPhone and know
it will be a little more lengthy than the N86 to do what I would have done;
so I'd just say do whatever you really want to do, weighing up all
advantages and disadvantages.

The iPhone isn't ffor everyone, but equally, soon enough you may feel forced
into moving anyway to something other than the N86;  so do whatever is best
for you.

Subject: [access-uk] I-phone too long winded

Hi all

I've recently discovered, through a fairly large phone bill, that I
need to go through some sequence that is akin to a Freemasans
handshake to close an app such as Safari.  In essence, I've searched
the net, pressed the home button to  close it, so I thought, and got
on with my day.  However, as I-phone users hopefully know, it did not
close but carried on in the background until I shut off the mobile at
night.

I'm sorely tempted to go back to my Nokia N86, on which I just pressed
one button to close a so-called app.
Texting is so much easier and I've got K-nfb reader too.

The I-phone makes a nice I-pod accessory and has some gimmicky app's
that I would use once in a blue moon, but to do anything is too long
winded to use as a simple mobile.

I'm on a two year contract, but I'm willing to lose money on the deal
just to go back to simple.

So, guys, I'm looking for a good argument why I should keep my I-Phone
4 and not go back to my N86.

Cheers

Barry
