9.1.3 Data usage
The first time you turn on your phone with your
SIM card inserted, it will automatically configure your
network service: GPRS, EDGE, 3G or 4G.
If the network is not connected, you can turn on mobile
data in Settings > Network & internet > Data usage.
Data saver
By enabling Data saver, you can reduce data usage by
preventing some apps from sending or receiving data in
the background.
Mobile data
If you do not need to transmit data on mobile networks,
turn off Mobile data to avoid incurring significant
charges for data use on local operator mobile networks,
particularly if you do not have a mobile data agreement.
Data usage is measured by your phone, and your
operator may count differently.
9.1.4 Hotspot & tethering
To share your phone's data connection via USB and
Bluetooth, or as a mobile hotspot, go to Settings >
Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering to activate
these functions.

when not inside that network, or when connected to a
wireless network.
