    surf only on wifi

    is it possible to make the browser and other internet use apps work only if i connected to wifi?
    or
    is it possible to turn off the 3g surfing, so i'll be able to get calls but not to surf or use it as an intenet connection?

    The data plan is unlimited so does it really matter?

    So people is there a way or isn't?

    If you are connected to wifi, 3G should turn off. Something like SwitchPro Widget - Android app on AppBrain or one of the various other widgets that can disable data should disable 3G for you when not on wifi.

    There are other apps that can disable data too, but switchpro is the first one that comes to mind.

    Yeah, if you're connecting using wi-fi then 3G should turn off automatically...you wont end up using both.

    If you want 3g totally off for a given period of time then turn off:
    Menu => Settings => Wireless & network settings => Mobile network settings => Data enabled
