Internet
Learn how to create wireless connections and browse the web while keeping your data costs down.
Define internet connections
Does your network service provider charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on a pay-as-you-use
basis? Change the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs while roaming and at
home.
Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
Using a Wi-Fi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data connection.
If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the Wi-Fi connection.
1. On the start screen, swipe left, and tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi networking is switched to On .

Use a mobile data connection

Data roaming means using your phone to receive data over networks that your network service
provider doesn't own or operate.
On the start screen, swipe left, tap Settings > cellular, and switch Data roaming options to
roam.
