How to turn off 3G services. I have an Idea connection on my Samsung Galaxy 3.
If you don’t find option to switch off the data connection in the notification bar panel, then press and hold the power/lock button on the right side of the phone to bring up the “Phone Options” window. You can disable data connections here.

However, I must add that Samsung Galaxy 3, by default, as Android 2.1 and the ‘Data Connections’ option is available only after you upgrade your phone to 2.2 (which I did last week).
