R. China), and the USB cable supplied with your phone. The use of third-party products

Settings for calling, messaging and the Internet

In order to make calls, send messages and use the Internet you will need a 2G/3G mobile data connection. You can also send emails and access the Internet by connecting to a WLAN network. For most mobile phone networks and operators, settings for calling, messaging and the Internet will be preinstalled on the phone.
You can use a WLAN connection to access the Internet wirelessly with your phone. You can browse the Internet at home (personal WLAN networks) or in public access zones (hot spots).
