Credit missing daily

    I got my first android phone a couple of weeks ago and whenever I get credit, 1 euro comes out of it every day until its gone.
    I presume its the internet as thats a euro a day. But I hardly use the phone internet as I have wifi in the house, and the phone is set up for wifi.

    Is there anything I can do?

    Looks like a fixed charge for the days internet once you connect, there is prob some app or something connecting to internet when you are not on the wifi triggering the charge.

    You could try an app like this which will enable you to switch off your mobile data so it wont connect when off wifi.

    Turn off your mobile data connection or get some sort of data bundle.

    Guessing you're o2? Unfortunately there are feck all options for PAYG customers to use data.

    Just disable it unless you really need it. Settings-Wireless And Networks-Mobile Networks-Data Enable(untick) (This is from memory, names might be slightly diff)

    o2 offer a bundle of 700meg for 9.99/mth
    you could try signup to that if you like

    ++ edit
    assuming you are o2 of course
    otherwise tell us your network and we can maybe advise on data options assuming you want to use when in non wifi area
