Internet
Learn how to create wireless connections and browse the web while keeping your data costs down.
Define internet connections
Does your network service provider charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on a pay-as-you-use
basis? Change the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs while roaming and at
home.
Important: Use encryption to increase the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Using encryption
reduces the risk of others accessing your data.
Using a Wi-Fi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data connection.
If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the Wi-Fi connection.
1. On the start screen, swipe left, and tap
Settings > WiFi.
2. Make sure WiFi networking is switched to On
.
3. Select the connection you want to use.
Use a mobile data connection
On the start screen, swipe left, and tap
Settings > mobile network, and switch Data connection
to on.
Use a mobile data connection when roaming
Connecting to the internet when roaming, especially when abroad, can raise data costs substantially.
Data roaming means using your phone to receive data over networks that your network service
provider doesn't own or operate.
On the start screen, swipe left, tap
Settings > mobile network, and switch Data roaming
options to roam.
Connect your computer to the web
Want to use the internet on your laptop but don't have access? You can use your phone's mobile data
connection with your laptop or other devices. A Wi-Fi connection is then created.
1. On the start screen, swipe left, and tap
Settings > internet sharing.
2. Switch Sharing to On.
3. To change the name of your connection, tap setup > Broadcast name, and write a name.
Tip: You can also type in a password for the connection.
4. Select the connection on the other device.
The other device uses data from your data plan, which may result in data traffic costs. For info on
availability and costs, contact your network service provider.
