That works for me too - once it has a data connection, which is sometimes
a PITA as it "remembers" the last connection it used, rather than always
asking, so if I'm home on Wi-Fi, it uses that, then when out and about,
it tried to use Wi-Fi again to connect, and then exists when it fails,
or it's OK if I change the connection type before it tries to get data.
