Turning the Data connection off of my Treo 650

I have a Treo 650 without a data plan and only recently I have been accidentally, (not even knowing how) with the phone in my pocket turning on the internet and now I have a bill for pay as you go kilobyte usage.

I have no idea how it happens and now I have a 33 kilobytes of usage, without ever actually surfing the internet once.

My question is, is their a way to turn it off, so it doesn't keep on happening?
😕 😕
Thanks for your input.

Not that I'm aware of on the phone itself but VZW can block data for you at no cost. It will block MMS but not SMS or calls. Otherwise when I see this on the phone it's frequently hitting it by accident (make sure the internet isn't on one of your buttons and that your screen lock is on both off & on calls) or there's a third party application that is updating without your knowledge. At only 33kb, it's more likely to be an accident than update.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that only $4.95 worth of overage? (.15/kb x 33)

You were fortunate it was only that much. 🙂
