Wi-Fi technology

Depending on your BlackBerry® device model, the Wi-Fi® feature might not be supported.
Getting started: Wi-Fi technology
About connecting to a Wi-Fi network
With Wi-Fi® technology, your BlackBerry® smartphone can access the Internet by connecting to a wireless router or wireless
access point at your home, work, or in a hotspot area. Your smartphone uses the Wi-Fi network instead of the mobile network
to visit web pages, send and receive email messages, and so on. When you connect to the Internet with a Wi-Fi network, you
might avoid data charges that are associated with using your mobile network, and, in many cases, the connection speed is
faster.
Hotspots are available in many public places, such as libraries, airports, hotels, coffee shops, and so on. Some hotspots are free
to use, while others require payment. Your wireless service provider might provide an application for your smartphone that
allows you to log in to a hotspot. If you do not have an application on your smartphone, you might have to set up your own
account online and log in manually.
