Connecting to mobile networks
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is
configured to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice and data
communication.
The icons in the Status bar indicate which type of data network you are
connected to and the network signal strength.
Connected to 4G LTE network
Connected to 3G network
Connected to the 1X data network
The more bars the stronger the wireless signal
Connected to another wireless service provider’s network
(roaming)
NOTE
When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone
using your phone for data-intensive tasks until you are connected to a
faster network, or find a Wi-Fi network on which to connect.
Disabling data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over another
carrier’s mobile network when you leave an area covered by your
carrier’s network.
This is useful for controlling expenses if your phone’s service plan
doesn’t include data roaming.
1. From the Home screen, tap the Menu key > Settings > More... >
Mobile networks > Global Data Roaming Access.
2. Tap Deny data roaming access.
