Correct, if you have Data Servies = OFF, you will get NO data... no WiFi or mobile network data.

And no your balance should not get deducted while using WiFi. You need to contact Vodafone India about that and dispute those deductions.

but i bc to my bbm friends "does their wifi works with data services off " and all of them said their wifi works data services and even i used my wifi without data services when i have other  network provider airtel india and then i reset my phone and then i suscribed for vodafone bb services...so i cant understand why all this happening.
 where ru from ? have tried ur wifi without data services..??

Trust me, their WiFi will not work with Data Services turned off.

I know there is some language barrier here, but I have not idea what you just wrote, very difficult to discern your question.

I am in the USA, it is no different in India.

What device and OS are you using?

With my torch 9860 on OS 7.1.0.402 i can still have BBM and surf with data services off and wifi on.

On a 9860 with OS 7.0.0.440 it will not work.

They must have changed some thin in OS 7.1 to make this work.

i have OS 6 Torch 9800

My friend has curve with os 6 and he can use wifi without data services.

ealier my wifi used to work with data services off  when i was with other network provider ( Airtel ) and then changed my network provider to Vodafone and now i noticed i cant use my wifi with data services on

Is there anything related to service book or host routing table ?

It's certainly news to me.  I must get out more, I guess.
