Have similar problem with a Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type which is similar to an Asha inside I think.
I'm on pay and go as I dont need it too much, but data over the phone is handy sometimes (email / google / Wiki etc). I usually top up £10 month to get the data/text package (far more than I could use).
Trouble is my credit builds up monthly so every so often I dont top up, and use the credit over the next month. BUT the damn phone still connects daily when I'm not using it and takes £1 off every day.
It's normally on Dual mode. I set the mode to 3G only to see what happened. I set packet data to OFF and it still connects without permission.
Strange thing is if you have GSM or Dual mode selected you cant change the data setting On or Off. You have to have it in 3G mode to change the setting either way.
I'm going to try it on GSM mode with packet data off to see if that still connects.
I dont know what causes it to connect via packet data when I'm not using it. Emails are manually requested and there's no active apps which update without manual intervention.
It's weird - anyone else use an old Nokia C3-01 or C3-01.5 with same problem?
I like it because it's shiny brushed metal, does data, bluetooth & WiFi: it does all I need and it isn't slab-sized in my pocket.
Until I can turn off data connection when I dont want it, my current solution is to get data bolt-on which is £3 pm - and you don't get any inclusive Texts with that.
Ta,
