Can we set my girlfriend's Sony Ericsson w705 to prompt before connecting to the internet over the phone connection?
My girlfriend recently bought a Sony Ericsson w705 mobile phone. Using it to surf the internet over WiFi usually works fine, but occasionally it loses the WiFi signal and automatically connects over the phone network instead. In principle this is a nice design feature. However, the mobile network (Vodafone) charges her a flat fee for every day that she uses their data service. So even if she notices it within seconds, this automatic switch from WiFi to the phone network ends up costing my girlfriend money.
Is there a way to force the phone to ask for permission before switching from a bad WiFi signal to the phone network?
She doesn't want to opt out of Vodafone's data plan permanently. She just wants the phone to ask for permission before opening an expensive data connection.
