Ok iPhone guys, let's get this one solved.

I recently made the move from android to iOS... which is a little odd as people tend to be going the other way but... any who. Here's my problem.

I don't use data on my plan as I don't really like it. I prefer to keep the data usage to wifi. Yesterday at about 4:00pm I got an SMS AFTER I turned wifi data on, however the SMS itself was sent at 2:00pm. I did not change any settings on my plan. I replied to the guy who sent it to me but I wasn't charged as it was a data that was used instead of the vodafone SMS service. So... this brings up a little problem. As weird as it sounds, I would rather be charged to send an SMS via vodafone rather than wifi data, but I want the SMS texts to arrive as normal, not reliant on data and whenever I have the wifi turned on.

Anyone know what I'm supposed to do here? It could cause big problems for me as I'm not always in a wifi accessible area. Also I'm not sure if this affects how I receive phone calls... hopefully it doesn't.

Thanks in advance.

go to settings -> mobile -> mobile data -> turn it off

go to wifi -> turn wifi on -> select your network -> connect.

Settings > messages > turn iMessage off...

Why tf do you not use data? Mobile plans are built around data usage. A message is like 0oo1kb

Dude... you pretty much just explained to me the situation I'm already in and not solve the problem.

THANK YOU SIR. That seems to have worked.

I don't really need to use data on the go. I pretty much just use it whenever I'm in a wifi area making it redundant. I mean on the train etc... I have my iPad and have data on that so I don't really need a 2nd data source for my phone. The only bummer is my iPad isn't a hotspot :unamused:

No. What you did is give me steps to get into the situation I was already in to begin with. I have my mobile data turned off and wifi turned on, on my phone. I already had that setting, you told me how to get there.
