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.
