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
Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
Using a Wi-Fi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data connection.
If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the Wi-Fi connection.
On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap
1. Switch Wi-Fi networking to On
2. Select the connection you want to use.

Use a mobile data connection when roaming
On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap ALL SETTINGS > cellular+SIM, and

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.
