How Wi-Fi Works
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use Wi-Fi you need access to a
wireless access point (hotspot).
What This Means to You
When you are not in range of a Wi-Fi connection, your normal cellular network takes over and keeps you
connected. Your phone switches automatically from Wi-Fi to cellular whenever it's necessary to maintain your
connection, whether your phone is displaying the Home screen or in the middle of an active call. The switching
process is virtually unnoticeable.
