Web and Data
The following topics address your phone's data connections and the built-in Web browser.
Additional data-related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and Entertainment,
and Tools and Calendar.
Your phone's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including:
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone's Wi-Fi,
you need access to a wireless access point or "hotspot."
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

available data network, including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. To turn Sprint Connections
Optimizer on or off, press
Mobile networks > Connections optimizer and follow the prompts.
