Connecting to Mobile Networks
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is configured
to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting
data.
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.
Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network
available for data. You can also configure your phone to access a different
set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming.
When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using
your phone for data-intensive tasks until you’re connected to a faster
network again or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
To disable data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’
mobile networks when you leave an area that’s covered by your carrier’s
networks. You can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi connection when data
roaming access is restricted. This is useful for controlling expenses if your
cell plan doesn’t include data roaming.
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen, then tap ALL SETTINGS
>
cellular+SIM > Data roaming options.
2. Tap don't roam to disable roaming.
Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point.
Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others
are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure
your phone so it can connect to them.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network
address and other information it needs from the network.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.
