Help How to turn off packet data permanently??

While in France, I installed a French Orange SIM card on my Captivate. To activate one month of data requires a two day wait with Orange. During those two days, I was told to turn off the packet data, otherwise, it would suck down my euro credit very quickly. I did uncheck the packet data and unchecked the background data, but the packet data would automatically restart after a few minutes. Before I discovered this later in the same day, I had gone from 24 euros down to about 8 euros. The only way to prevent any further credit loss was to go into flight mode.

Is there any full proof way to turn off packet data and have it stay off with the Captivate??
