    Turning off data

    I will be travelling into the jungle in Peru and want to take my phone with me. I would like to have phone and texting turned on, but internet and other data turned off. I want to do this for battery life and to prevent a large roaming bill. Can you anyone help me figure out how to turn off data on the Droid 2 Global?

    Thanks

    In settings, go under Wireless and networks. Go to mobile networks, and uncheck the Data enabled box(the one with the caption "Enable data access over Mobile network"). It may be a better idea to simply use a local sim, if available. It may be cheaper.

    You can also go to Data Manager - Data Delivery - and uncheck Enable Data Roaming. This worked fine for me in Italy.

    Since you'll probably be on GSM in Peru, don't forget to switch the phone to GSM mode (instead of Global) and disable 3G (i.e. set network type to GSM 2G). That sometimes increases battery life twofold.

    Yeah, girls can do that too.
