Welcome, my dear reader, to our next article. Today I will tell you how you can turn off the Internet on a Samsung phone in imaginable and inconceivable ways. Format – step-by-step instructions for dummies.
If you want to do something different or have your own interesting ideas, write a comment on this article! And people also ask questions there)
The instructions are suitable primarily for owners of modern Samsung smartphones based on the Android operating system. The series is not so important - both M and A will do, and of course the flagship Galaxy S. But there will be nothing about push-button phones here - you need to switch to a new one.
What are we doing?
The traditional minimum necessary portion of theory. Where does the Internet on your smartphone come from?
- Mobile data – via SIM card. If you just need to save on mobile traffic, it will be enough to disable them.
- Wi-Fi – you will need to turn it off to turn off the Internet completely.
If you want to completely disconnect your phone from the outside world, sometimes it will be easier to put it in “Airplane mode” (but only if you don’t need any connection).
It is these points that I propose to go over.
Many functions on the phone duplicate each other in different places. Our actions will be sufficient – i.e. There is no need to look for anything in other places.
Why turn off mobile internet?
All mobile applications have Internet access.
Thanks to this feature, connecting to a wireless network is an expensive pleasure for any user. This applies to subscribers who do not use an unlimited Internet tariff. If there is no need to use your mobile phone to connect to various network resources, this feature should be disabled as soon as possible. The best solution to the problem is to communicate with a mobile operator specialist. By asking for help, you can immediately disable your data service so as not to lose your money.
Important! To disable the Internet access function, the owner of a Samsung mobile phone should contact the nearest branch and write a statement. Applying is a simple process that won't take much time.
If your Samsung Galaxy smartphone did not have unlimited internet connected, the funds will still be debited from your account. Some applications installed on all Android smartphones can access the Internet without prompting. As a result, an update occurs. A certain amount of money is charged for this process.
To find out how to disable Samsung Internet on your phone, you need to go to the Settings section. A new column will open which presents the Wireless Networks option. Next, click on “Mobile networks”, where the “Packet data” option will appear. After unchecking the checkbox, the Samsung Galaxy smartphone will no longer spend money.
Sometimes you need the Internet again. Therefore, the user needs to go to the settings section and perform all the above steps. In the end, you have to point to the check mark icon. If you have any questions, you can contact the cellular company's support team.
Note! It is not recommended to use the Internet on Android smartphones without an unlimited Internet connection. Installed programs that are not needed can waste money without the user's knowledge. Therefore, in order to stop the process of debiting money from your account, you need to purchase an unlimited package.
When to turn off the Internet on Samsung
Smartphone owners should be careful when connecting to the World Wide Web via 3G or 4G, as many operators have a limited MB package. There are several situations in which it is recommended to disable mobile Internet on Samsung:
- The desire to save money when the operator's tariff does not include a subscription fee.
- The need to extend battery life. It's no secret that connecting to the World Wide Web drains your battery.
- While roaming. If you are traveling to another country or region where the operator's tariff does not apply, it is best to turn off your Internet connection. Otherwise, there is a high risk of financial loss.
- Protection against unnecessary costs if established limits are exceeded. If you do not disable login in time, your Samsung phone will be able to access the Internet and run the application update. This, in turn, can lead to rapid exceeding of established limits and, as a result, to costs.
If the operator charges the Internet when it is turned off, this is not a device failure, but a miscalculation. To check, launch any web browser and try to access the Internet. If it is properly disabled on a Samsung phone, it will not work.
Features of disabling mobile Internet on a Samsung phone
The shutdown process occurs when the smartphone is rebooted. First, the owner of a Samsung phone must disable the data service. To fix this, the user must first disable all options. This process is done through settings.
Firstly, access to the network is blocked. To do this, follow these steps: a menu column will open - “Security” - then it will be redirected to the “Access Blocking” item. You can follow the instructions provided as you complete the steps. After entering the password, access to the network is blocked.
If this is not possible, you need to try setting the wrong connection settings. Where network access parameters are listed, you must enter an incorrect access point value. To do this, the user must select the “Personal Configuration” option. In this column you will need to provide a new username and password.
Note! There is an easy way to disable the Wi-Fi adapter on Android smartphones. Initially, the user must remove automatic connection to any open access points. After all, attackers can easily gain access to any mobile phone.
Galaxy Series
As usual, you can remove Internet on your Samsung phone as follows. On Android devices (like Samsung Galaxy), you should find the Wireless & Networks menu in Settings, there's Mobile Network, and then you'll need to uncheck the box.

By visiting your personal account, the user can get acquainted with information regarding the use of the Internet. It shows how much money was spent on the Internet at home and how much abroad (roaming).
Disabling the Internet on feature phones
Some people still have a flip phone, a phone that everyone has forgotten. To disable the network, open the Wireless & Networks option. In this column you can delete all profiles, accounts and other data. Consecutive switching on of the device occurs through new settings. The mobile operator sends an SMS message. This process is performed automatically. Therefore, if you need to permanently disable the Internet on your device, you will need to configure your phone.

Alternative – Cardinal Method
Some people like to completely turn off all radio interfaces. And since this happens often, I am already beginning to classify this as normal methods. Do you want to pay off mobile data and Wi-Fi at the same time (and also Bluetooth as a bonus)? Turn on Airplane Mode. This is all done in the same menu.
But remember that if, after turning on Airplane mode, you manually turn on the same Wi- Fi, it will work.
We prohibit Android programs from accessing the Internet using operating system tools.
Users need to study the shell of their own gadget. Some manufacturers add to the device functionality the ability to limit Internet traffic directly in Android for individual applications.

If you stop using the modem, access to the network will automatically stop when the balance reaches completely zero, and the balance will not go into minus. After replenishing your account, you can use the Internet on the modem again, no special command is needed.
Turning on and setting up Wi-Fi
Using the shortcut menu is the easiest way to connect to the Network. Just swipe your finger across the screen from top to bottom, a menu will appear in which you should find the Wi-Fi icon and click on the icon. If another icon appears at the top of the screen, it means the function has been successfully enabled.
There is a second way. You need to go to the settings sections, go to the “Connections” section and select Wi-Fi in it. After some time, an icon will appear next to the clock on the phone confirming the correct connection.
Note! The device always automatically searches for nearby networks. It is acceptable to add networks manually, but this method is more suitable for advanced users

It is possible to add networks manually, but this method is more suitable for advanced users. To do this, you should understand the following parameters:
- network name;
- password;
- connection type;
- IP parameters;
- proxy if this function is used.
Note! Typically, several encryption options are used - FT PSK, WPA/WPA2, WEP. The necessary information is displayed in the security-related tabs
For the average user, any of the above modes is suitable. You should not choose only WEP, since it is considered an outdated standard. The security of transmitted data when using it is not guaranteed.
Using a third-party proxy server solves the problem with additional protection. The proxy host name is entered manually if the automatic settings do not work for one reason or another.
Disconnecting from the network using the operator
If the Internet is no longer needed, then the function should be disabled by contacting the nearest branch of the mobile operator or contacting an online consultant by phone. If this is not possible, the user can leave a request to disable the above services.
Sometimes, to solve a problem, mobile operator employees advise subscribers to come to the office to fill out a form to terminate the contract. As soon as the user receives an answer to his question, mobile communications employees will be able to turn off all unnecessary services.
Important! All that remains is to restart your mobile device to confirm the changes.
End of use of Internet M
The SIM card, which uses a representative of the described line with 16 gigabytes of monthly traffic, which is included in it with the name M, also has additional features, such as unlimited access to social networks and the chance to listen to online music tracks in unlimited quantities. There are the following ways to get rid of the option:
- The company's client can enter the code through his mobile phone - *236*00#;
- Create a text message containing the word “stop”, and then send it to 05009123;
- In the personal account of the service owner there is a list of all connected functionality, where you can easily deactivate the need for it.
Worth paying attention
The Google Play application has many additional programs for setting up and adjusting the contact list and setting quiet mode parameters. If you don't have the latest Android updates, this software is worth using. The latest Android Jelly Bean update has all the necessary parameters, so you don’t have to use additional software. In older versions of Android, the settings for automatically turning on silent mode may be confused by manual intervention, so it is more convenient to use third-party software. It is necessary to turn off the Internet on your phone in order to avoid Internet traffic costs if you do not have an unlimited package. If you cross the border, then you should also use the shutdown, because data roaming costs a lot of money. Also, turning off the Internet on your smartphone will help you save your device's battery power. Therefore, you should monitor the Internet status on your device.
How to disable safe mode on Android Samsung
To disable this function, just use the prompts. There are several switching options and they are all simple to implement.
With a reboot
No matter how trivial it may sound, in order to exit safe mode, you just need to restart the phone. At the same time, it will turn on in its usual mode with all the settings and applications that the user has installed.
Actions:
- Press the power button and wait no more than 10 seconds.
- A window will appear on the display. Select the shutdown method - reboot.
- After booting the phone, make sure that there is no sign that you are in safe mode.
Via control panel
An equally simple way to turn off an unnecessary mode is to lower the top curtain of the screen down. There, there will be the text “Safe mode is enabled.” Just click on this message and the message “Turn off safe mode?” will pop up. Select – “Turn off”.
After these simple steps, the phone will automatically reboot and return to normal operation.
Using buttons
It also happens that after rebooting the phone, safe mode does not disappear. In this case, first of all you need to check the correct operation of the smartphone buttons. The most universal method that can work on any phone:
- Turn off the phone and make sure that the screen really doesn't react anymore.
- Now, using the power button, bring the android to life. As soon as the manufacturer’s logo appears, press the “Volume Down” button. Hold in this position for several seconds.
- After this procedure, a message should appear that safe mode is disabled.
This is really the simplest and most effective way that will help you deal with this little problem in a couple of minutes
And most importantly, you can turn off safe mode using the volume buttons on any smartphone
Extreme way
The most undesirable option is a factory reset. If nothing else helps, then there is nothing left to do but resort to the most extreme method.
It is advisable to do a reset on Samsung through recovery. In this case, Safe Mode will probably be disabled.
Instructions for resetting to factory settings:
- Open phone settings.
- Select – “General settings”. If there is no such point, then simply move on.
- Click on the “Reset” button. It may be called differently, it all depends on the model, but the meaning should be clear.
- Next, select “Data reset” or “Device reset”.
- In the next step, click on “Reset”, “Reset device” or “Remove everything”.
If everything is done correctly, the smartphone will automatically reboot and all information that is not factory data will be deleted.
The first thing you need to do before performing a reset is to copy all important information to another medium. Or transfer it from the phone memory to a flash drive and remove it.
Copying information from your phone
In order not to lose all the information, it is generally recommended to save at least 2 times a week.
Contacts from your phone need to be transferred to your Google account. It is advisable to initially indicate this method of saving when purchasing a phone and problems will not arise in the future.
Another way not to lose contacts is to transfer them all to a SIM card. The only disadvantage of this method is that the SIM cards may also fail.
It is best to transfer other necessary files in the form of images, videos, music and other things to your computer, and download them back after updating the system.
If you don’t have a computer, then Cloud Storage can come to the rescue. This is a kind of hard drive that is located on the Internet. You can choose cloud storage based on your preferences. It could be:
- Yandex.Disk.
- Google Drive.
- Microsoft OneDrive.
Account deleting
To avoid problems with subsequent activation, it is initially recommended to delete your Google account. This is due to the fact that when you turn it on again, the phone will ask for login information. You need to understand that not everyone can change the same address or login password.
If there are no difficulties with this and the user has saved the name and password from the old account, then there is no need to delete it.
