That is one of the nicer things about the Android is that not only can
you easily switch these services off and on through the Settings, but
there are plenty of apps that do these things. I keep my wifi on because
at home I get poor coverage (I've actually checked AT&T, Verizon and
Sprint, and AT&T actually gives me a slightly better connection at home.)=
