How to make sure I'm not using any 3G data?

I just got an iPhone for the first time, let alone any kind of smart phone. I did not sign up for much data, when my phone is on, what can I do to make sure my phone is not using the 3G data? I know I can use Wi-Fi, but when I'm out of range of that is there anything I should look for to keep it from doing anything. I have been opening the safari browser and making sure all of the internet windows are closed, anything else?

Added (1). I don't know if it matters but it is the iPhone 4S, and there's no network section under settings.

Go to settings>network>enable data
Turn the data off and the 3G.

Or if you don't wanna make calls either you can put it in airplane mode.

  • What should I do to make sure my iPhone 4s still works after it fell in the toilet? My iPhone fell in the toilet yesterday and I put it in a bowl of rice for 24 hours. I took it out and charged it and it worked. I want to make sure that it won't glitch and die, so should I keep it in a bowl of rice while charging it for a day? I also noticed that when I was charging it at first, it started heating up… Should I be concerned?
