Are we able to use Wifi and Mobile Network simultaneously?? Or if I want to use Wifi do I HAVE to turn off my mobile networks in order for it to work??
Thanks for ure help

Oh ok. So i don't have to manually turn off the mobile network, it will just go off...good to know.No you can't use them simultaneously. If you want to use wifi, just turn on wifi, and the mobile network will drop in priority. You don't have to turn off anything for wifi to work.
Ok so if this is the case, here's my next question. If both are on and I want to be on the web using the wifi, how does it know to use the wifi connection as opposed to the mobile network?? Do I have to do something extra?? Also, should I have both the wifi and mobile network on at the same time or will there be more issues using it this way??Incorrect...your mobile network will NOT turn off if you turn on WiFi. You will still be able to make and receive phone calls and make and receive SMS & MMS messages.
Test this by turning on WiFi and using someone else's phone to call yours.
It will default* to WiFi when available, if WiFi signal drops, it'll then revert to 3G(G/E/3G/H etc.)...If both are on and I want to be on the web using the wifi, how does it know to use the wifi connection as opposed to the mobile network??...
I don't think this is true. When my mobile network is OFF, I don't get texts or calls...At least I don't think I do.I think we are confusing internet access and telephone access. I believe mobile network on the phone refers to internet access. I can use a widget to turn off mobile network and wifi on my phone I will not get internet but I can still send/receive calls, sms, etc.
After reading this thread, I think so too. In my first post, I was referring to 3G. Unless you were to turn on Airplane Mode, your normal voice network should not turn off. 3G, on the other hand, is a different story, and will be prioritized based on if you have wifi on or off. I have wifi on alot and receive calls/texts/etc just fine.I think we are confusing internet access and telephone access. I believe mobile network on the phone refers to internet access.

It is true for me. Please don't call me a liar. I've tested both calling and sms with both mobile network and wifi off and they worked.

1x will also pop up when you are sending or receiving SMS and MMS. (I'm pretty sure at least.)
CDMA2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaNow here's a whole other confusion on my part, where does 1x come in?? sometimes I see it blinking alternatively with 3G..Is that internet also?
Yes, leave it on. Wifi is faster and uses alot less power compared to 3G.Don't mean to high-jack but is it wise to just leave wifi on all the time? I spend 99% of my day either at home or at work (both have wifi). Or should I just only turn on wifi when I know I'm going online? If i'm away from both locations will the wifi kill the battery from the constant searching?
