Hi

3GS, Voda, Unlocked and JB

If I have a data Pack and also have wireless at home, is there a way to set the priority of how my phone gets to the internet ?

Is this built into the phone ? would like to ensure that where wireless is available and connected that this is used to connect and that its not using 3G willy nilly......

Cheers

As long as the wifi is turned on and connected to your home wireless network, it won't use 3G data. I think there is an issue with the wifi disconnecting when the iPhone goes to sleep, which sometimes causes data to be charged to PAYG accounts if things like mail settings are set to fetch. You can get a program called Insomnia which keeps the wifi connection active even when the phone is in sleep mode, though.
