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 - 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 are 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.

1. From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key

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 and hold the connected network. Tap Modify network in the Context menu that appears, then checkmark the Show advanced options.

To add a Wi-Fi network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it does not broadcast its name (SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range. To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to obtain the password or other required security credentials.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.

2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap ADD NETWORK at the bottom right corner of the screen.

3. Enter the Network SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, tap Security and tap the type of security deployed on the network.

4. Enter the required passwords and security credentials.

5. Tap Connect to save the information.

The phone will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that you

entered are saved, so you are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network.

To forget a Wi-Fi network

You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you added. For example, if you don’t want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it’s a network that you no longer use.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.

2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network that you want to forget.

Voicemail

The Voicemail application allows the management of voicemail directly from the device rather than accessing voicemail via traditional methods.

Voicemail can display a list of your messages allowing you to choose which message(s) to listen to or delete, without having to dial into your mailbox and listen to voice instructions or prior messages.

To be able to use Voicemail

1. From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key > Voicemail or tap Voicemail directly on the Home screen.

NOTE Listening to voicemail and setting up your voicemail service depends on subscription to

the visual mail service. When you tap the Voicemail Key subscribed to the visual mail service, the Visual Voicemail application will be launched. If you are not subscribed, you will be dialed into your traditional voicemail box.

2. The ﬁrst time you access the Voicemail application, you will have to subscribe to the Visual Voicemail service to be able to use it.

3. After subscription to the Visual Voicemail service, you will be prompted to enter the password. To change the password call voicemail (dial *86).

4. After entering the password, your voicemail entries will be displayed in your Inbox.

While viewing the voicemail list, you can select an entry (see step 5). For

additional options, tap the Menu Key

(in the Front Touch Keys bar).

The following options are available: Search, Delete, Save as, Mark as

heard, Sort by, Saved voicemails, Refresh, Settings, Logout, and Unsubscribe.
