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.

The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data network you’re connected to and the network signal strength.

Connected to the 4G network (LTE).

Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).

Signal strength - the more bars that are lit, the stronger the wireless signal.

Connected to another wireless service provider’s network (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 is covered by your carrier’s networks. This is useful for controlling expenses if your cell plan doesn’t include data roaming.

Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.

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.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.

The following Status Bar icon indicates your Wi-Fi status.

Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection strength).

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To conﬁgure the phone with a static IP address and other advanced settings, from the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch connected network.

You can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it doesn’t broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you’re out of its range.
