Although smart phones like Android phone can use mobile network carrier's data service (e.g., 3G, Edge, or GPRS data service) to surf Internet, people sometimes do not want to use mobile network carrier's data service. For example, in some phone plans, mobile network carrier charges the consumer based on usage. When the wi-fi is freely available to the consumer, he wants to explicitly disable mobile network carrier's data service to avoid unnecessary usage charge and instead use the free wi-fi to surf Internet or check emails.
It should be mentioned that although we disable mobile network carrier's data service, we can still use mobile network carrier's voice service to make phone calls.
There are at least two methods to easily do this. One method is as follows.
1) Menu -> Setting -> Wireless & network -> Mobile network -> Access Point Names (APN).
2) Click the available APNs (T-mobile US, epic.tmobile.com for me).
3) Select APN.
4) Update a random prefix or postfix to APN name, e.g. change epc.tmobile.com to x-epic.tmobile.com or epic.tmobile.comx.
5) Click OK. Then the data service should be disabled.
The other method is to use APNDroid app.
1) Install APNDroid from Android market.
2) Start APNDroid.
3) Click Off/On button to disable or reenable mobile network carrier's data service.
