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.
On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap .
1. Switch Wi-Fi networking to On

Use a mobile data connection when roaming
