Thanks Graham and Steve for clarifying this for me as I wasn't sure what it
meant.  Vodafone have always told me that they support 3G and, as such, it
is better than the older protocol.  It is hit or miss whether we get it or
not, even within certain parts of the house.  That's why I didn't equate to
turning it off, because I didn't think we could.

Anyway, hope this has helped Mandy who wanted to preserve battery life on
her phone if possible.

Jackie
