Define internet connections

If your network service provider charges you on a pay-as-you-use basis, you may want to

change the WiFi 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 WiFi connection. Using

encryption reduces the risk of others accessing your data.

Using a WiFi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data

connection. If both WiFi and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the WiFi

connection.
