Data usage?

I'm in Australia, and with Telstra on their regular GSM network (no 3G). I don't have a data plan, so I don't want my phone to ever use data. Up until recently, I didn't have Telstra's APN programmed into my Dream, but I discovered that I couldn't read MMS without it in there, so I put it in. I now ocassionally see the icon with the 2 up/down arrows and the 'E' in my notifications bar when I don't have WiFi connectivity, and I can only assume that means it's using Telstra to check emails, etc. which I don't want...
I've gone in to the wireless controls and ticked "Use 2G networks only", but that doesn't seem to help it. It's going to end up costing me a lot if it keeps using data through my mobile provider. I have WiFi in 90% of the places I go, so I have no need for a data plan!

try to adjust your apn so that the username and password sections are blank. to see if that works just try and connect to a webpage without wifi on.

try downloading APNdroid. It disables all but non data apn's i think (make sure you test your phone to see if you do receive the MMS)
Also make sure data roaming is disabled ( Settings > Wireless Settings > Mobile Settings )

GPRS on even with APNdroid

Weird issue over the last few days. Even with GPRS turned off using APNdroid (settings apn has the xxx.comapndroid) the data connection icon is still on and I am able to load websites. Is there something I am overlooking ?
Only one APN defined in settings as well
Thanks!

OB loses data connection intermittently

Whether in sleep or awake mode the phone will lose the 2G data connection. Network signal is full strength. If I disable mobile data and enable, connection is restored. But after about 10-15 mins same issue happens.
I have tried all sorts of ROMs now. Huexxx, CICI, CM10, CM7...Seems like a hardware or network problem.
Customer service keeps saying to use the APN settings properly and are of no avail.
Any other ideas..??
Thanks.

Have you try using another sim card from another operator?

Keep cellular data active when connected to WiFi

So I can't seem to find anything that answers this anywhere.
I have some remembered WiFi networks which are open but require me to hit OK on the login page once I connect in order to use the internet. If my phone is in my pocket it will connect to these networks but not be able to access the internet until I go through the login procedure.
I notice though that my phone drops the cellular data connection as soon as it connects to the network giving me a large amount of time with no data at all. I have searched high and low for the setting that will keep cellular data permanently active but I cannot find it. When I look in settings I see:
Mobile data
Use my data plan when Wi-Fi isn't available.
If I tap that I see no option to change anything that would always keep the data connection alive. I see only the following
Data roaming
Data roaming sound
Access point names
Network mode
Network operators
In Power I have Power saver switched Off and Sleep mode switched Off.
Does anyone know how I can enable this?
Thanks

Mobile data won't connect at all

My gf's phone won't connect to the network at all, the only way she can use her phone is if she is connected to wifi.
Here are the things I've checked so far
Bill has been paid
Restarted the phone
Double checked Airplane mode
Ensured there is not a data cap on the plan
Ensured there is not a data cap set on the phone
Double checked APN settings are set to t-mobile
Removed SIM card for 5 minutes and then rebooted
The phone has not been flashed nor rooted, it is stock.
What happens when she disables Wifi a message comes up 'Can't connect to network, please try again'
Not really sure what to do at this point, any ideas or things to try?
