I have a 8820 under AT&T but I don't subscribe to the data plan. I have free WIFI at home, work and school so I don't think I should need it. Unfortunately, the only way I seem to be able to connect to a network is if I turn on the "Data Services" in my mobile network settings. Is this really required??? I have a feeling AT&T is going to start billing me (for data to/from my personal free wifi networks!!!) if I keep that on.

Anyone able to get around this?
