Just make sure your syncs are set to something sensible, and that "Always on mobile internet" (or whatever it is in settings) is disabled.

Hope that helps.

I'm sorry for not being clear. By syncs I mean all the things you have set up to syncroise, like Facebook or twitter.

I would leave it on all the time. If you're not actually downloading anything it doesn't use that much power.

If the network is busy, then data connection requests will take 2nd place to those that already have a data connection.

Orange seems to be poor lately for network capacity based on posters here.
