Nokia Lumia 710

Can anyone tell me if I need or should have the wi fi turned on for general useage of mobile...calls and texts? When I switch on it tells me wi fi enabled and available.If Iam not wanting to do any internet browsing should I turn the wi fi off( if this is possible?) to conserver battery life between charges?
Thanks for any help.If it will make no difference to battery life then is it best to leave on?

It will save your battery if you turn it off if not using it

You don't need it on for calls and texts.

"If Iam not wanting to do any internet browsing should I turn the wi fi off( if this is possible?) to conserver battery life between charges? "

It is possible (it's under settings > wi-fi) and it will conserve battery life having wi-fi off, although it's not too bad leaving it off as the phone disables it when the screen locks.
That should have been it's not too bad leaving wi-fi on as the phone disables the wi-fi when the screen locks.

Thank you "ChuckFickens" again for your help.If I wish to browse internet at home will I need to turn wi fi on again if pC isn't in use?
Thanks.
You will need a WiFi "hotspot" to connect to, to use the WiFi on your mobile to access the Net. Unless you have access to a public one I suspect you'd need a WiFi router to use it in your own home. If you have, then you are set. Just turn on the handset's WiFi when you need to use it.

Might be worthwhile trying it out and seeing how many more hours you get from a charge with the WiFi turned off.
