I just got myself a new 3G card 2 days back for my G900. When i on my phone the 3G icon appears on the top left corner. By not doing any video calls am I still paying for the service?
And also i felt the battery life has been dropping faster. It that true?

to say things simple:
no your not paying for the service with the 3g icon on always at the top left..
when you have 3g on battery life WiLL drop/decrease - 3g is used for video calls,moderate downloading connection(compared to hsdpa)
and also (supposebly) will make reception better on your phone
so i suggest you turn it off as it isnt essential.
