Settings
.
Tap
Wireless & networks > Mobile networks

Data roaming
check box.

Wi-Fi
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.
The availability and strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on objects, such
as buildings or simply a wall between rooms, the Wi-Fi signal has to pass through.

Settings.
Tap
Wireless & networks

The phone then scans for available wireless networks.

networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section.

networks, scroll down the screen, and then tap

wireless network settings, and then tap
Save

Depending on the network type and its security settings, you may also need to enter more
information or choose a security certificate.
When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon
appears in the

up).
The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network,
you won’t be asked to enter the key or other security information again, unless you
reset your phone to its factory default settings.
