If i go into connections and delete the Alltel connection it comes back on reboot! I also tried just changing the number/settings so it couldnt connect. This, too, changes on rebooting the device. So three questions:
1) does deleting this #777 connection completely remove the possibility of data use?
2) how can I keep the connection from coming back on reboot?
3) I'm also paying for a text/instant/picture/video package. Would disabling #777/data stop me from using that?

Edit: about #3, looks like turning off the data/#777 has no effect on text messaging. the server says its alltel MMSC so i assume that its seperate. Still looking for answers to #1, an #2 though
yes it will and from coming back on reboot you need to get the msl number from the customer service through alltel and ask them the number to get to the options.... they have to give this number to you so tell them that you are aware of that stipulation.
