How to restrict 3g network internet on iphone 3g ?

Hello everybody! I have an iphone 3g and att "pay as you go" prepaid simcard. As you know, iphone 3g is a totally multimedia device which connects to the internet using 3g network without asking about that. So my iphone spended all $15 on my prepaid simcard in couple of hours while updating weather, mail and stuff. I called att cus.support and explained them my situation, they credited that money back...but thats not the point. A cus.support guy told me that there is no way to restrict iphone using 3g internet. But what do you think about that? Maybe there is existing a some type of application for iphone that could restrict automatic connection to the 3g internet? Or it is impossible and i need to buy another phone for my "pay as you go"?
P.S.: I need to leave an ability to use internet through wifi access point.
P.S.S.: Tried to shut off 3g mode in iphone menu, but it didnt helped.
Looking forward for your replies! Thanks!!!!!

You cannot shut off the data. Visual voicemail relies on the cellular data connection as well.
You can turn on airplane mode, but then the phone won't work.
Sorry, but the AT&T guy is correct.
The iphone will use wi-fi first, but if it is not available it will go to 3G , then Edge.
The iphone is designed to be used with the unlimited data plan provided by AT&T.

How to manually select network on ATT iPhone 4gs

Please discuss.
Thanks.

It's more of a network problem in my case. I had a microcell in a previous location that I lived where I was on the edge of coverage. It was given to me for free as with your mother but did not come close to yielding the same results.
My current situation is not one with coverage (3 to 4 bars) but due to sub-par network perfromance. I'll get about 10-20% of my calls to go through, missed emails and texts that show up hours after they were sent. This was never a problem with my 3GS iphone as I simply left it on 2G when at home.
I believe the issue is with 1 of 2 things:
1) uplink - downlink imbalance
2) pilot beacon interference
To get ATT to fix these issues at my serving cell would be next to impossible.
This is a product of a poor ATT 3G network but also a bad reflection on Apple and their iPhone as my wife has a Blackberry and does not experience the same problems.

How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

How can I share my Internet from my iPhone to Airport express network?

YES you can! - Gotta love those "you can't" answers from people who haven't even tried. ;o)
Just have your Airport Express "Join" your iPhone. It will share your Internet connection through its Ethernet port. I currently have an AppleTV connected via Ethernet to the Airport Express. With this setup I have wireless Ethernet AND wired LAN connection. I can even AirPlay to the AppleTV and have Internet at the same time. Haven't tried a switch/hub but see no reason why it wouldn't work. This proves to be very useful to create a wired network with Internet from a cellular device without Ethernet.

How can I use Apple TV with iPhone 4S and no home Internet connection?

Ok here is the situation. I'm at my grandparents house where I have the following setup;
NO home Internet connection
iPhone 4S
Verizon carrier with unlimited data plan
Apple TV (I believe it's the latest one)
Lynksys router
What I would like to do is stream Netflix, HBO GO, or You Tube and put it on my grandparent's tv where I have the Apple TV hooked up.
I thought it wouldn't be a problem however I can't figure out how to be on the same network from the router and receive 3G data at the same time.
Is it possible to do what I want with this setup? If so how?
Thanks

I think I worked out a solution given my equipment. I was looking around on other forums and I found the following post concerning the ability for iPhone 4S to be on 3G and wifi simultaneously.
"I know this thread is old and op may have discovered the answer already. However, I am posting this just in case someone else might be looking for a solution.
The solution does not require any additional software nor require a jailbreak.
All you need to accomplish this is already built into every iPhone and iPad with 3G.
Connect to your wifi and write down the IP address your router assigned you. Then, select static tab instead of DHCP and fill in the IP address your DHCP server assigned to your iPad. Next, fill in the subnet mask but leave the rest of the fields empty.
You now have access to your wifi as well as 3G.
I ran into this issue when I wanted to use live traffic using 3G for my iPad's GPS and still connect to my GoFlex Satellite using wifi. It works extremely well."
AFter configuring my phone to the router, as mentioned above, I connected my Apple TV to the same router. Using the mirroring option I was able to airplay Netflix, You Tube and Flixster flawlessly from my phone to the big screen. Direct TV and HBO GO did not work however.
I Then tried to access items directly from Apple TV thinking that it could use the data from my phone. I was wrong. So all in all I'm able to stream about half of my movie entertainment applications given my situation. I'm pleased.

How do i find a wi-fi network for my iphone

how do i find a wi-fi network for my iphone? Message keeps coming up "incorrect wi-fi password (do not know this password) Enter the password for "R7443"?
Seems to me the wi-fi is working as i can get on internet and get email - but i have no idea what password they are looking for.

Where are you looking for a wi-fi network for your iPhone? Home , office, friends?
The owner of wi-fi R7443 has the password. Ask them for it if you know them. If you don't know them or know who owns wi-fi R7443 then you have no reason to use it.
Most people have their own wi-fi network at their home and use it for their laptops and phones.

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

HT1976 how to connect internet on iPhone 4s ?????????

how to connect internet on iPhone 4s ?????????

Do you have a data plan with your carrier?
Is the device successfully connecting to their network?
Is the device connected to Wi-Fi?
Do other devices connected to the Wi-Fi successfully connect to the Internet?
Instead of asking such a vague question... maybe a better solution would be to state what is actually occurring when you attempt to do anything on the device that requires an Internet connection

WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" GETS OPENED.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECCT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.

explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:
