Hello,

I have the same issue. I have not used WhatsApp so far, but I intend to do so as its the prime reason I bought a new phone in the first place.

Most of the time there is a wireless network nearby I can use, but not always, so I want to disable GPRS entirely. Frankly Im surprised that this is not a single-click option in the phone. Long live user-friendlyness, I suppose.

I changed the names of the access points which according to some info on the web is supposed to render them useless, but this doesnt seem to work.

Help would be seriously appreciated.

very simple solution for all. Go to settings, configuration, and delete every saved info from it....i am relaxed now

To manually set up the configuration on a Nokia Asha 302, see below.

Step 11. Press the Back button until you reach the Personal accounts screen.
Step 22. Highlight WLAN and press the Options button.

Hi akram2aku

Simple steps that you can try:

Restart your phone

2. Remove the battery. 
3. After a few seconds, put the battery in and switch your phone on.

Reset the settings

Restore the original factory settings as instructed in your phone's user guide.
