Can anyone think of a situation where you would need to turn off just your BlackBerry data service? All I could come up with were international travel, roaming situations, and scenarios where your data is metered and you want to conserve. I suppose you could use it to avoid emails from work, too. Thankfully, for those who need it this is a relatively easy function.
Open up to your Applications menu and scroll to Manage Connections. Underneath the check boxes you’ll see a selection which reads Mobile Network Options. Scroll down and click the trackball on it.
There you’ll be able to see available mobile networks along with a few options, including Data Services. You can turn it off, or turn it off only when roaming. That’s quite a useful feature, as it can save you when you don’t know you’re roaming.
Does anyone use this feature frequently?
