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 and data
communication.
The icons in the Status bar indicate which type of data network you
are connected to and the network signal strength.
Connected to the high-speed EVDO
Connected to the 1x data network
The more bars the stronger the wireless signal
Connected to another wireless service provider’s
network (roaming)
NOTE
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, or find a Wi-Fi network on which to connect.
Disabling data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over the carrier’s
mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered by your
carrier’s networks.
This is useful for controlling expenses if your phone’s service plan
doesn’t include data roaming.
1. On the Home screen, touch the Menu key M > Settings >
Wireless & networks > Mobile networks.
2. Touch Data roaming to uncheck it.
