My phone seems to just eat credit, even when I haven'y used it much. I put 20 dhs in it yesterday and by the evening there were only 4dhs left and I had only text a few times. I have had a look and can't see anything that is switched on or that could be using upo the credit. Anyone got any suggestions pleeeeease before I end up completely broke ??????

Freckles, do you have it set to receive emails? If so, set it so that it only receives them when you request it to and that that it's not checking on a regular basis.

For the iPhone you need to download a program to disable edge. Think I got this info from google load onto phone and then when you check under setting general profile it should say disabled edge or similar. I just use wifi now

Try and check if any settings for data can be turned off. Etisalat automatically signs up everyone for "3G Data" and it keeps draining charge even if you are not using any data. DH has switched from his iphone to a basic phone as his "3G Data" billing kept increasing bills even though he had turned off all data.....and of course, he could get no solution/answers from Etisalat. Ditto, I'm scared of my iphone it eats credit, etisalat no help, and I can't stop it but I love it for itunes etc. But I am thinking of giving up and putting my etisalat chip in an old cheap phone. Can't help with the Galaxy, love the chocolate though ha ha.

I had the same problem with my Galaxy in the UK. I can't help on the technology stuff though as I can't get connected to the internet with it here. Does anyone have suggestions who we could get to help us????

aaargh...ok next question. How do I find the 3G data thingy?? Can't find it in the book Dont have a galaxy, so cant be of too much help. You could go into settings and see anything that looks like data or edge - in fact, do a google search on turning data off on a galaxy and you should be set...
