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.
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.

1. Switch WiFi networking to On
