But once one disable GRPS, MMS feature on the phone would fail to work.

Looking at the iFlex Value plan $56/mth with 12GB free local data, will this help to save the cost?<br><br>Should I keep my Nokia N95-8GB or Samsung Ominia i900?

Nothing much you can do against them. Just check who owns SingTel. You only recourse is to change Telcos. M1 is better in this respect. Also, you can now move your number to another Telco. So very little incentive to stick with current Telco. Unless, you still got a very long way to go before your contract expire. My take is always change telcos. Don't preach loyalty. Only by doing so, telcos will change behavior for the better. Loyalty gets you nothing in this modern coniving consumerism market. True. Nothing much you can do against them.

You will need to call in to explicitly ask the GPRS and 3G removed! Or else, your phone will auto connect. Whatever setting you done now may not work as iPhone updates its OS regularly!

I'm using it to do all kind of iPhone-related things, networking, facebooking twittering, etc. The fact is I don't want to do it on 3G or GPRS. WiFi only. I'm a consumer (or customer). I'm always right. What you mean it is not suppose to be use without a data plan?
