Define Internet Connections
If your network service provider charges you on a pay-as-you-use basis, you may want to change
the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs. You can use different settings for
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.
