    I'm sorry, I am not sure I understand your question. Have you not tried airplane mode by swiping up on the multi touch display to open the control center and tapping on the little airplane? Or going in settings -> cellular -> and turning off Cellular data, Enable LTE/3G, and data roaming?

    I cannot imagine why you would possibly want to do this.  If you want to "completely not use mobile data", then why not simply do:

    Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data = "Off"?

     

    Anyway, this should help you understand what uses cellular data a bit better:

    OK. Log out of iCloud on all services. iTunes, App Store, Game Center, iMessages, and email. Do not back up to the iCloud (you should be backing up to iTunes whenever possible) and that could solve your issue.
