Hi, is there any truth to the reports I have read that sometimes an iPhone when in a WiFi location sometimes switches over to cellular data? I can see that this would happen if the WiFi network is down, but some have said that there is leakage of cellular data even when on WiFi. I have no idea whether that's true or not but my guess is that it might switch on the fly if the network is unstable, hence the impression that there is leakage. One other question, how do I tell which it is using? Since I have had my phone, I have always been in range of WiFI, so I don't know if there is a different message at the top of the screen when it's using cellular data. In the status line at the top of the screen, to the left of the time, there's an icon that will tell you whether you're using 3g or , how many bars you have if you're using wi-fi. Right now I'm sitting in my living room next to my router and have a wi-fi signal that's 3 bars, as expected. Just to test this, I walked out of my apartment, went down the hall and turned into the intersecting hallway. As I did this, I could look at that icon and see that the wi-fi signal was weaker. Then when I lost it altogether, it switched over to 3g. Interestingly enough, even though the phone was back in range as I returned to my hallway, my phone waited to reconnect to wi-fi until I re-entered my apartment. Hope that answers your question.
