Turn 3G on or o (GSM models): Choose General > Network, then tap to turn 3G on
or o.
Using 3G loads Internet data faster in some cases, but may decrease battery
performance. If you’re making a lot of phone calls, you may want to turn 3G o to
extend battery performance.
Turn Cellular Data on or o: Choose General > Network, then turn Cellular Data on
or o.
If Cellular Data is turned o, you won’t be able to access the Internet unless you join a
Wi-Fi network. By default, Cellular Data is turned on.
Turn Data Roaming on or o: Choose General > Network, then turn Data Roaming
on or o.
Data Roaming turns on Internet and visual voicemail access over a cellular data
network when you’re in an area not covered by your carrier’s network. For example,
when you’re traveling, you can turn o Data Roaming to avoid potential roaming
charges. By default, Data Roaming is turned o.
Turn Internet Tethering on or o (GSM models): Choose General > Network >
Internet Tethering, then turn Internet Tethering on or o.
Turn Personal Hotspot on or o (CDMA model): Choose General > Network >
Personal Hotspot, then turn Personal Hotspot on or o.

Conguration.
VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information
securely over a non-private network. You may need to congure VPN, for example, to
access your work email on iPhone.
iPhone can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols. VPN
works over both Wi-Fi and cellular data network connections.
Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up
VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPhone.
Once you enter VPN settings, a VPN switch appears in the Settings menu that you can
use to turn VPN on or o.
VPN may also be automatically set up by a conguration prole. See “Connecting to
the Internet” on page 22.
