Web and Data
Your phone’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, Verizon 4G LTE, 3G, 2G, and Virtual Private
Networks (VPN).
The following topics address your phone
’s data connections and the built-in Web browser.
Additional data-related features can be found in
on page 52,

on page 97.
Wi-Fi
Wi-
Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone’s
Wi-
Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network
Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to
enable your phone’s Wi-Fi radio and connect to an
available Wi-Fi network.
1. From the Home screen, tap
> Settings.
2. If the OFF icon is displayed next to Wi-Fi, tap it to turn Wi-Fi on. The ON icon is
displayed and the phone will scan for available wireless networks.
3. Tap Wi-Fi. The network names and security settings (open network or secured with
WEP/WPA/WPA2 PSK/802.1x EAP) of detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed.
4. Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an open network, you will be
automatically connected to the network. If you selected a network that is secured with a
password, enter the password and then tap Connect.
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 status
bar and tells you the approximate signal strength. (The above icon indicates maximum signal
strength.)
Note: The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network,
you will not be prompted to enter the password again, unless you reset your phone to its
factory default settings or you instruct the phone to forget the network.
