Connecting to Networks and Devices

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi, you can use high-speed Internet access within the coverage of the wireless 

access point (AP). Enjoy wireless Internet using Wi-Fi, without extra charges. 

Connecting to Wi-Fi networks

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need to access a wireless access point or ‘hotspot’. 

Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden 

or use security features; you must configure your phone to be able to connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery. 

NOTE: If you are out of the Wi-Fi zone or have set Wi-Fi to OFF, additional 

charges may be applied by your mobile operator for mobile data use.
