Travelling to Canada...how to disable EDGE?

Heading to Canada for a few days. I plan to do the following to save money but don't have a perfect solution yet for EDGE
-phone calls - my wife has north america plan from legacy network so all my calls are auto-forwarded to her cell (which is a us number). eats into my minutes but no long distance or roaming
-for email I will have some wifi access. but how do I disable the edge part so emails don't come in through edge? even if I set the request email frequency to manual or every few hours when I do access them with wifi I have no guarantee that they will not first look to the EDGE network and cost me money. Is there anyway to shut off the phone/edge part so I just have wifi?

You have to call AT&T and ask them to disable Edge for the time that you'll go, there's no other way. I went to Canada for 5 days, checked some e-mail, some maps, not a big deal, got a bill for $749.00, so I learn my lesson the hard way so you won't have to.

Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

Hello,
I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
Why is edge switpes still enabled?
How to disable edge swipes?

> I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
> Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
> When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
Thats right and this is how it works
> However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

Blackberry Curve 8520 how to disable Edge and surf on WIFI only

Hi,
Could anybody help me to disable Edge network on vodafone and only phone connects to WIFI when using internet on Blackberry Curve 8520.
It would be great help!

Just turn off Mobile network. Uncheck the box. Doing that means you can't make phone calls, though. That's the only way. If they're both on and a wifi connection is present it is supposed to use that first but some say it still uses mobile data sometimes.

Hi saqib44,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
What version of BlackBerry Device Software do you have? Here is how to check: "How to check the model number and version of installed BlackBerry device software on a BlackBerry smartphone" http://blackberry.com/btsc/KB23393
Do you have a data plan from your mobile network provider?
In Manage Connections > Wi-Fi Network, is the Wi-Fi network you are using listed there and showing as connected when you select it?
Can you tell me which of the following connected icons you have listed under Wi-Fi connection option? http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2012/05/connection-icons-status-indicators/
I look forward to your response.

Does Anyone Knows How To Disable The "Check For Updates" Option in Adobe Edge Code and Reflow?
Thanks in Advance

I don't think there is a way for Edge Code. I'm not sure about Reflow.
Why don't you just upgrade? That will stop the notifications.

How to disable "slide to callback"

When I talk to someone the phone and I walk into no signal coverage area, the phone will hang with "call fail" showing up in the lock screen. The slide bar will show "Silde to Callback".
Does anyone know how to disable that feature which is quite anonying? The reason I need to turn it off is I use talktone to call my friend and if call failed, their iphone will try to call me back with long distance charge since google voice is US number. And I am in Canada.
Thanks

Apple please provide way to disable Edge but enable WiFi

I am planning a trip outside the US. I have read the posts about people who spend a week abroad and come back to an outrageous AT&T bill because of the international Edge usage charges (sometimes even incidental). I called AT&T and yes they have an international data plan but for a 1 week trip I would have to pay $25/month for a year or pay a huge cancellation fee. Another attempt to gouge their customers. So that is not an option. How can I use the wireless on my phone without using edge?? Airplane mode turns off both. There is no way to enable only wifi. How can I do something as simple as check for messages without edge? How can I safely use just wifi at the hotel or other hotspots? I don't want to have to leave my phone in airplane mode for a week but until apple provides a way to disable edge while enabling wifi I most likely will have to.

take paperclip...
unfold paperclip...
insert paperclip into small hole next to headphone jack...
eject sim card...
remove sim card and place in safe spot...
return metal tray to phone...
enjoy using wifi & iPod features of phone...
reverse process to re-enable phone & edge

How to disable certain form fields from a calculation with a check mark fields.

How to disable certain form fields from a calculation with a check mark fields.
In Canada we have to taxes
I create a form that calculate them to a total
I need to be able to turn off any of those to taxes to participate to the calculation and their visibile field should become 0
I was thinking using a checkbox (when checkbox is on (Yes) the tax is calculated, Not ticked (Off) the tax is not calculated and the visible field should show 0 or nothing....
I really need help on this one — I’m a complete newbie....
Remark that the second tax is calculated on the sum of what the first tax add (first tax is pan-canadian tax (all provinces).
The second tax is never use alone (Quebec only (on top of the Canadian one)
Sometime for outside Canada sell - No tax at all is calculated....
What should I do?

I want to tank you to help, really appreciate —>
This is the code and order... I just trow the checkbox in there (they have, so far, no purpose...)
The code use is
var a = this.getField("pricehorstx");
event.value = Math.round (a.value * 7.25) / 100
I guess -If the checkBox are check - The tax should be calculate — If “Off” the tax should be not calculated and PriceHST and /or PriceQST should show zero or be empty — The HST is always calculated in Canada, but the QST is added only in Quebec.
I need to turn both to Zero for international sale.

My 4s was stolen. how to disable it via IMEI

my iphone 4s was stolen and i changed all my information in the device
is there anything else that i can do to keep my information safe from the thief? and how to disable the device.
i heard can disable the device via IMEI by calling the service company but i called and they said they cant do anything.
is there anyway to block and disable my stolen 4S so they cant use my device?
need comments. Please.

i already changed them a moment ago. what a great loss i bought it while it released. lesson learnt. but its way too late.
luckily i used another sim card as in i travelled to other country. so im not using the sim card with the data plan.
i stay in Singapore. can singapore's carrier company disable the phone??

Disable EDGE alternative to calling ATT or removing SIM

Another way to disable EDGE (and all phone service) for international travel without calling ATT and without removing the SIM is to set a SIM PIN. When you turn your phone off and back on, you will get a message that says "SIM LOCKED" with 2 options. To use your phone, select "UNLOCK" and enter your PIN; to disable your phone, select "OK", the SIM will remain locked, but all non-SIM functions work, including Wi-Fi.

So, if I understand this, when the sim is locked, you can't make phone calls but if you can connect to a free wifi network (maybe from a hotel or the airport), you should still be able to check email, yes?
If the SIM is locked, can you still use the SMS functionality?
I'm traveling to Namibia in about two weeks (thru France and South Africa) and have contacted ATT several times about disabling edge (the right hand definitely doesn't know what the left hand is saying) so this might be an alternative so I don't come back to one of those horrific phone bills with my IPhone.

Disable EDGE on Blackberry Curve

I have just bought a Blackberry Curve for my girlfriend, and with her SIM provider she has no data package. As a software developer who has never used a blackberry before, I was shocked to find that the device flips between EDGE and WiFi almost randomly, and then when you go to "Disable data services" it disables Wi-Fi as well! I think I must be missing something here, how can I disable data services except for Wi-Fi?
The only way I can see how to do this is to go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network and turn off, however I don't think that's a very good way to use a device, and my gf will probably just forget and rack up a massive bill.
Please help me out, as I said I'm new to blackberries. If I can't do anything else I guess I will try calling O2 and have them disable EDGE on the phone.

Remove Disable-EDGE-3G fix iPhone 4

When I restart my iPhone 4 the disable edge 3G setting will appear because I used that on my iPhone 1 witch profile has been transferred to my iPhone 4. I can fix it but it will appear after every startup, how to remove forever??

There is no such option, but you have direct control over the new apps that you download from the iTunes app store and when, and the same for downloading app updates.
If you mean for internet access with an app that requires and uses internet access, the same applies. Don't use an app that requires internet access or restrict its use when connected to the cellular network for internet access.
You can also disable cellular data at Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data > Off. This will prevent internet access and the download or upload of any data via the cellular network with any app that requires it.
When have you exceeded or even approached 5GB of data access via the cellular network in a month?
I've been using an iPhone for what is approaching 4 years this summer and I've never exceeded 1GB of data in a month nor have I been very close to 1GB of data in a month. 600-700MB, but never exceeded 1GB. I wouldn't worry too much about exceeding 5GB in a month.
