Data connection

When you turn on HTC Desire 816 for the first time, it will be automatically set up to
use your mobile operator's data connection (if the nano SIM card is inserted).
HTC Desire 816 is available in either a 3G-only or 3G-and-4G/LTE version,
depending on your region and mobile operator. You need a 4G/LTE plan to use
your operator's 4G/LTE network for voice calls and data services. Check with your
operator for details.

accounts, and other synced information.
