HTC Touch 3G - Wi-fi / Data Connection problem

[Guest jcreedy]

Hi All,

I have often been abroad and wanted to use the Unique connection to tap in to local wi-fi on my Touch 3g. The problem is that the 'data connection' keeps turning itself on every time I open my browser. The first time it happened I didn't realise and got a massive bill from Orange.

Do you know of a way to use Unique (wi-fi) on the phone without the bloody data connection turning itself on all the time?

Many thanks.
