Use a mobile data connection when roaming
Connecting to the internet when roaming, especially when abroad, can
raise data costs substantially.
Data roaming means using your phone to receive data over networks
that your network service provider doesn’t own or operate.
From the Start screen, swipe left, tap
Settings > cellular, and turn
Data roaming options to roam.
Tip:
You can also follow your data usage with the data sense app.
Use your data plan efficiently
Worried about your data usage costs? The data sense app helps you

1. From the Start screen, swipe left, and tap
Data Sense.
2. Tap set limit > limit type, and choose the values you want.

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. From the Start screen, swipe left, and tap
Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi networking is turned On .
3. Select the connection you want to use.
