Web and Data

through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, Data Services, 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 Accounts and Messaging, Apps and

The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
