[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1651166, member: 46727"] The cellular setting is for data. Even if you have it off, you'll still receive phone calls on your carrier's network. With WiFi turned on and if you are always in range of a network (free or your own) you'll continue to receive data and downloads. I keep my cellular setting on since I travel outside of WiFi zones. It does consume more battery when it's on, however. Even if you have cellular on, as long as you're within WiFi range you'll receive downloads and in some cases calls (with WiFi calling turned on). I've got a generous data plan with carry over unused data from month to month with T-Mobile so I usually just keep the cellular setting on. But like I indicated above, it does wear your battery down faster. [/QUOTE]
