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.
