Define internet connections
Does your network service provider charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on a pay as you use
basis? Change the Wi-Fi and mobile data settings to reduce your data costs while roaming and at
home.
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.

Use a mobile data connection when roaming
Connecting to the internet when roaming, especially when abroad, can raise data costs substantially.
Data roaming means using your phone to receive data over networks that your network service
provider doesn't own or operate.
