Connections

Connect your BlackBerry device to a mobile network or Wi-Fi network to browse websites, check your messages, use
location services, and much more. You can also connect your device to a mobile hotspot in a public place, pair your device
with your car using Bluetooth technology, or use Internet tethering to connect to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices. NFC lets you
share files easily between devices.
Check which wireless networks your device connects
to
Your BlackBerry device won't necessarily connect to every type of network that's listed on your device. Your device is
capable of connecting to all the networks listed, but actually connecting to each type of network also depends on your
wireless service plan. For more information about the wireless networks that your device connects to, see the Safety and
Product Information document for your device.

Wireless connections icons
The following icons might appear in the upper-right corner of the home screen to indicate the wireless coverage level that
your BlackBerry device currently has.
The number of solid bars indicates the strength of the
mobile network signal. If the signal is weak, your device
