to connect your phone to the wireless network.
For detailed instructions on using Wi-Fi, refer to "6.1.2 Wi-Fi".
10.1.2 Bluetooth
Bluetooth allows your phone to exchange data (videos, images, music,
etc.) within a small range with another Bluetooth supported device
(phone, computer, printer, headset, car kit, etc.).
For more information on Bluetooth, refer to "6.2 Connecting to
Bluetooth devices".

Connecting to the cellular network with a SIM card enables cellular

to the Internet"".
10.1.5 More\Airplane mode

10.1.6 More\Tethering & mobile hotspot
This function allows you to share your phone's cellular data connection
via USB or as a mobile hotspot (refer to "6.4 Sharing your phone's
cellular data connection").
10.1.7 More\VPN
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile
devices with access to network resources and software applications on
their home network when they connect via other wireless or wired
networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments where workers need
to keep application sessions open at all times, throughout the working
day, as the user connects via various wireless networks, encounters
gaps in coverage, or suspends-and-resumes their devices to preserve
battery life. A conventional VPN can't survive such events because the
network tunnel is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time
out, fail, or even the computing device itself to crash.
