Solved: Pay and go just calls please

Anonymous · ‎18-04-2016

I have a Samsung gt-s5360 on pay as you go which I just want to use for making and receiving phone calls. I top -up £15 each month. Unfortunately, each month, after 30 days or so all my remaining credit gets used up by charging me £1 a day for data usage. I never browse the internet or use social media on my phone so I'm upset that my credit just gets wasted when I would like to make it last longer. I thought I could solve this by turning off the Background data under Setting - General Sync Settings - Background Data but this has not worked and I am stumped. Any suggestions as to how to get my phone to work just as a phone would be very welcome.

Turn off mobile data completely.
Pull down on the notification bar and tap the button to turn it off.
The option is also in the network settings menu.
