But, both 3G and wifi drain your battery quicker than being in cell standby only.
Yep, wi-fi seems to be the savior for most if not all plans (including the grandfathered unlimited now that they admit to throttling). Gotta watch out for those data-nibbling apps for sure! My phone stays plugged in most of the time at home, driving and at work so battery drainage i guess i could put up with to use wi-fi for saving 'att-driven-data-usage'
