Yes, on the very left in the status bar it will also give you the cellular signal quality, but you are using WiFi if it gives you a WiFi signal strength just to the left of the time.

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!
