Keep WifI connected when phone is locked?

[billybrown]

I've got an LG Optimus 7 on windows 7.8, I was wondering is there a way to keep wifi always connected so I can be alerted to new facebook/whatsapp messages while my phone is on standby? (I don't have a plan with data).

It does this by itself sometimes why I'm at home but not always, and never does this while I'm at university.

Any ideas?

unfortunately not, Windows Phone 7 has reached the end of its life span, however in Windows Phone 8 this can be done via an option in the settings
