Turn data completely off?

[SadAstronaut]

Hey, I'm new to this site, and this will be my first Droid phone, so excuse me for being an idiot, but before I buy it I have a question. The plan I'm on (Koodo Talk and Text) does not have any data coverage at all (they charge you per MB), and since I don't particularly want to pay any more than what I already pay for month, is it possible to completely disable Data connection and use WiFi only on this phone?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Android forums!
When you start the phone for first time, in Google account setup screen press Menu and setup Wi-Fi connection. If the Wi-Fi connection is established, phone will use it for setup and first synchronization. Than go to Setings (press Menu on main screen), Wireless & Networks / Mobile networks and uncheck the "Data enabled" option, the phone will then never use mobile data.

Thanks a ton! I can still use WiFi for the Android Marketplace and other web-related things?

Sorry for the double post, but I have one more question. I've heard that even with data disabled, some apps can still access data. Is this true?

you can use WiFi for market place and other apps. I don't think apps can access your data.

hi, when you uncheck data enable, that means you can not use network data. and only you can use WI-FI.
