I've highlighted the pertinent information for you below.
iOS: About the Cellular Data setting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4203
Cellular data is used for data communication in cellular networks. It does not affect your ability to make or receive phone calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for Internet connectivity. If you turn off cellular data, you will be unable to:
See the cellular data icons in the status bar (for example, LTE or 3G).
Send or receive MMS messages. However, you can still send and receive SMS and iMessages if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Retrieve or listen to new Visual Voicemail messages. To retrieve these messages, enable Cellular Data.
Use Personal Hotspot.
You can adjust this setting by going to:iPhone: Settings > Cellular
Additional Information
You can also enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS features and applications from this setting:
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

  • Is there a way to shut off the cellular radio ?

    Is there a way to shut off the cellular radio ?
    I can go to “settings” and switch off cellular data.  However I still see the signal strength meter and my iPhone will ring if called.
    I thought there was a way to shut off the cellular radio in an iPhone and keep the Wi-Fi turned on.

    When you turn Airplane mode on, it does turn all the radios off. You can, however, turn the WiFi and bluetooth back on.
    Enjoy.

  • Ios7 - is there a way to shut off or clear the new photo stream activity?

    Ios7 - is there a way to shut off or clear the new photo stream activity?  I am not asking how to shut off photo streams, just would like to clear or shut off the new 'social' activity portion of photo stream

    Thank you, but that is not it, and I am talking about the iCloud photo streams.  I know how to modify who can see or post to a shared stream, that's extremely easy. 
    What is an issue is the new 'social' style activity that summarizes all of the shared streams.  It now posts/summarizes them in an activity thread in 'streams', called "Activity"
    I would like to shut that off or be able to clear that view.  While I enjoy the occasionally funny pics I receive from old college friends in shared streams, I don't want that to show up in a 'cover photo' when I go to pull up pics in front of someone.

  • Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

    Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
    Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
    If so, how can I do this?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

    Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
    Cheers all.

    There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.

  • Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

    iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

    This is what that error means:
    -54
    permErr
    Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
    Download and launch  BatChmod.  Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window.  Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group.  Everyone will have R only.
    Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button.  When done try importing the files again.

  • Is there a way to shut off Live Shapes

    Just got the new version of Illustrator and can't figure out (or if there is a way) to shut off the Live Shape feature so the Transform window won't come up every time I draw a shape

  • When I am talking on the phone, is there a way to shut off the screen so my face does not press buttons?  I am using an Iphone 4.

    When I am talking on the phone, is there a way to shut down the screen so that my face does not touch the buttons?

    It is supposed to shut off on its own. Some users have reported cases or screen covers that have interfered with the proper functioning of the proximity sensor. If you've removed those and cleaned the screen and still have the same problem you may have a defective proximity sensor. You may find more information by doing an internet search for "iphone proximity sensor."

  • Is there a way to turn off photo sharing between three iphones?

    We just purchased three iphones. Is there a way to turn off the photo sharing? We only want the pictures to be on the phone that took them, not shared between all three. 

    If you mean they are signed into the same iCloud account and are sharing the same photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and turn Photo Stream off.

  • Is There a Way to Force a SYNC/BACKUP of the IPHONE

    Hi All. Thanks again for the help on the logo stuck issue. Is there a way to force a sync/backup of the phone so if another restore is necessary the backup is recent and can recover the phone? Thanks all.

    This is close to the problem I'm having. My husband let someone at work "update" his program and the goober deleted everything. I can only get a screen that has itunes logo and a usb cable picture. When I try to sync it Itunes doesn't bring up the phone on the left side. It doesn't recognize it at all. Can someone please tell me what I need to do? I've already tried reinstalling itunes, I've tried to sync on another computer and all I get is that itunes screen on my phone.

  • Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?

    First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake.  Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections?  On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo.  I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
    Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer.  Same problem with JumiAmp.

    It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

  • Is there any way to REVERSE a 'Restore' action on the iPhone 5?

    Is there any way to reverse a restore action on the iPhone5?
    I just got my iPhone and connected it to my itunes for the first time and it asked me to register my phone as new or restore from last iphone. I did not realize that this action would delete all of the pictures I took this weekend of my son. Please help! These pics are priceless.

    No. You can not "reverse" a restore. If you didn't have the photos backed up, or uploaded to PhotoStream, they're gone.

  • Is there a way to shut off the screen of an imac, while leaving a power point running?

    I have a slide show set to run on a connected monitor, but don't want to leave the screen of the mac on while it is running. I've tried **** control eject with no luck. On my pc I was able to just turn the screen off and it would still show, but there is no button like that on the imac since it is all in one. is there a way around this?

    You cant switch off the power to the monitor but you can send it to sleep.
    1 - Apple > System preferences > energy saver: set the monitor to sleep at the shortest duration
    2 - While the second display is connected and powered on,  System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement:  deselect the Mirror Displays option
    While the presentation plays on the secondary display, the Mac display will go to sleep as there is nothing on the screen during play, entering display sleep within seconds.

  • Is there a way to shut off the "Show All" in a panelCollection?

    JDev 11.1.1.4.0
    Hi, I am looking for a way to turn off the "Show All" option in the View/Columns menu. Even though you can hide columns from this menu using featuresOff="columnsMenuItem:col1,col20" if a user selects the "Show All" option, it will show the columns you're trying to hide from their their view (programatically controlled). I don't want to remove the whole View menu, because it has options I need to give the user. I've read the Oracle doc on af:panelCollection, but it does not reference the "Show All" in the featuresOff section.
    Thanks,
    Troy

    Hi,

  • Is there a way to shut off headers and footers when printing to a pdf file?

    Files designed to exactly fill a page become too large when headers and footers are added and spill over onto two pages. I can't find a way to change these settings. I am working on an Apple with OS 10.4.11

    There is a switch at the left side of the iphone. Try flicking that. It should mute all sounds.
