Data connection
Your phone will be automatically set up to use T-Mobile’s data connection when you
turn on your phone (if the SIM card is inserted) for the first time.
Turning the data connection on or off
Turning your data connection off can help save battery life and save money on data
charges. However, if you don’t have data connection turned on and you’re also not
connected to a Wi-Fi network, you won’t receive automatic updates to your email,
social network accounts, and other synchronized information.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Wireless & networks.
3. Select the Mobile network check box to turn on the data connection; clear the
check box to turn off the data connection.
Enabling data roaming
Connect to T-Mobile’s partner networks and access data services when you’re out of
your mobile operator’s coverage area.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Wireless & networks > Mobile networks, and then select the Data roaming
check box.
Select the Data roaming sound check box if you’d like your phone to play a
sound so you’ll know when it’s connecting to a roaming network.
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.
Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Wireless & networks, and then select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on.
The phone then scans for available wireless networks.
3. Tap Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security settings of detected Wi-Fi
networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section.
4. If the wireless network you want to connect to is not in the list of detected
networks, scroll down the screen, and then tap Add Wi-Fi network. Enter the
wireless network settings, and then tap Save.
Using data services while roaming will be costly. Check with T-Mobile for data roaming rates
before you use data roaming.
