The iPad needs a setting to turn off Cellular Data connection.

I cannot laugh at the stories of people being billed exhorbitantly, in fact the bills can be enormous!, by Smart, Globe and other communication companies.
For instance, Rep. Anna York Bondoc was billed the incredible amount of P100,000 for only 3 week use of mobile phones.

A spokesman for the Globe company has even averred that the iPad still connects to the 3G even when it is turned OFF!


This shows that we need a bill to stop billing by the hour the iPAD is ON but by the the hours the device is connected and downloading digital data.

We need a gadget to turn off the Cellular Data connection when the iPad is turned off via the power button. It SHOULD NOT automatically connect to the 3G communications provider!! Damn!


IT IS SO EASY TO FORGET: go to settings > Celllular Data and turn it off manually!
