Positioning methods

Your phone shows your location on the map using GPS, GLONASS, A-GPS, WiFi, or network (Cell ID) based positioning.

The availability, accuracy and completeness of the location info depend on, for example, your location, surroundings, and third party sources, and may be limited. Location info may not be available, for example, inside buildings or underground. For privacy info related to positioning methods, see the Microsoft Mobile Privacy Policy.

The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service and other similar enhancements to GPS and GLONASS retrieve location info using the cellular network, and assists in calculating your current location.

A-GPS and other enhancements to GPS and GLONASS may require transferring small amounts of data over the mobile network. If you want to avoid data costs, for example when travelling, you can switch the mobile data connection off in your phone settings.

WiFi positioning improves positioning accuracy when satellite signals are not available, especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings. If you're in a place where the use of WiFi is restricted, you can switch WiFi off in your phone settings.

Note: Using WiFi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in the EU, you are only allowed to use 5150–5350 MHz WiFi indoors, and in the USA and Canada, you are only allowed to use 5.15–5.25 GHz WiFi indoors. For more info, contact your local authorities.

The trip meter may not be accurate, depending on the availability and quality of your satellite connection.

A company account on your phone helps you do your job.

If you have a work phone, your company can create a company account that keeps the info in your phone more secure, gives you access to documents or info from inside the company's network, and even provides apps or Hubs that help you do your job.

If your company has apps available, you are given the option to download them, as soon as you've finished adding the company account to your phone. If an app isn't available until after you've already set up your account, your company can let you know how to get it.

A company Hub lets you get to all sorts of company info in one place – such as news, expenses, apps, or access to a company store. Installing a Hub works the same way as installing a company app – if one's available, you have the option to add it once you've added your company account. If your company develops a Hub later, you are offered another way to get it set up when ready.

Most company accounts include a policy. A company policy allows your company to add safeguards to your phone, often to protect confidential or sensitive info.

To set up your company account, on the start screen, swipe from the top of the screen, and tap ALL SETTINGS > workplace.

Tips for business users

Use your phone efficiently at work.

Work with mail and calendar on your phone and PC

You can use different mail addresses for business and leisure. You can add several mailboxes to your phone and use the same mail account both on your phone and on your PC, be it Outlook, Office 365, or any other mail account. Your mail and calendar stay in sync, and you can join meetings directly from calendar invitations. You can use the integrated mail and calendar so that, for example, when you have a meeting coming up, you can view the attendee list and, with a tap, access any mail or text message discussions you have had with an attendee.

For more info on Office 365, see the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QxiYmAerpw (in English only).

Keep your data secure on your phone

Your phone has a variety of security options to make sure no one else has access to the sensitive data you have stored on your phone. For example, you can set your phone to lock automatically, or you can even locate your phone if it gets lost (not available in all regions).

For more info, go to www.microsoft.com/en-gb/mobile/business/lumia-for-business.

You may use a virtual private network (VPN) connection to access your company resources, such as intranet or corporate mail, or you may use a VPN service for personal purposes.
