The following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including
managing your user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your
phone.
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or QWERTY keyboard may appear
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process
your data usage request.

delivers data transfer rates of up to 30 Mbps. To connect your phone to the LTE network, you
need access to a LTE base station.
For more information about the availability of LTE in your location, contact your wireless service

your distance to the LTE base station, and infrastructure and other objects through which the
signal passes.
