Internet and Social Networking
The following topics describe how to connect to and use the Internet on your phone, and how to access
popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.
Browser
Your phone’s Web browser gives you full access to both mobile and traditional websites on the go, using
3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi data connections.
SSL/TLS
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protocols for encrypting
sent/received data. While in a screen connected by SSL/TLS, data is encrypted to safely send/receive
private information, credit card numbers, corporate secrets, etc., and provide protection against online
threats (eavesdropping, falsification, impersonation, etc.).
SSL/TLS Cautions
When opening a secured page, users must decide as their responsibility whether or not to open the
page with use of SSL/TLS. Virgin Mobile and the applicable Certification Authorities make no
guarantees whatsoever to users regarding security of SSL/TLS.
