Hey Sieghard, Thank you very much. Now, So, are you saying that when my phone says, "3 of 3 bars, wifi signal strength", it is on wifi and will not use my data? Right? I do notice that as you said, when my phone doesn't say, that, it says, "4G, T-Mobile Network, 4 of 5 bars". Well, right now, it says that t-mobile network is 4 out of 5 but I guess it changes as well. So, by all means, you mean that my iPhone will use one thing, either wifi or data? Right? Is 4G good? Thanks!
