Internet

Learn how to create wireless connections and browse the web while keeping your data costs down.

Define internet connections

If your network service provider charges you on a pay-as-you-use basis, you may want to change the
WiFi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs. You can use different settings for roaming
and at home.
Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your WiFi connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
Using a WiFi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data connection.
If both WiFi and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the WiFi connection.
On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap
1. Switch WiFi networking to On
2. Select the connection you want to use.
Use a mobile data connection
On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap ALL SETTINGS > mobile+SIM, and
switch Data connection to on
Use a mobile data connection when roaming
On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap ALL SETTINGS > mobile+SIM, and
switch Data roaming options to roam.
Connecting to the internet when roaming, especially when abroad, can raise data costs substantially.
Data roaming means using your phone to receive data over networks that your network service
provider doesn't own or operate.
Tip: You can also follow your data usage with the data sense app.

Connect your computer to the web

Want to use the internet on your laptop on the go? Turn your phone into a WiFi hotspot, and use your
mobile data connection to access the internet with your laptop or other device.
1. On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap ALL SETTINGS > internet
sharing.
2. Switch Sharing to On
3. To change the name of your connection, tap setup > Broadcast name, and write a name.
Tip: You can also type in a password for the connection.
4. Select the connection on the other device.
The other device uses data from your data plan, which may result in data traffic costs. For info on
availability and costs, contact your network service provider.
