Connecting to the Internet

iPhone connects to the Internet whenever you use Mail, Safari, YouTube, Stocks, Maps,

Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store.

How iPhone Connects to the Internet

iPhone connects to the Internet using either a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network.

iPhone does the following, in order, until connected:

Connects over the last Wi-Fi  network you used that’s available.

If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi



networks in range. Tap a network and, if necessary, enter the password to join.

Networks that require a password show the lock icon next to them. You can

prevent iPhone from automatically showing available networks. See “Wi-Fi” on

page 194.

If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to



the Internet over a cellular data network ( , , or ). You can prevent iPhone from

using cellular data in Settings. See “Network” on page 198.

If no Wi-Fi networks are available and a cellular data network isn’t available, iPhone

cannot connect to the Internet.

Note: Unless you have a 3G connection on a GSM model, you cannot use the Internet

over a cellular data network when you’re on a call. You must have a Wi-Fi connection

to use Internet apps while also talking on the phone.

Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some countries or

regions, Wi-Fi hotspots provided by your iPhone carrier. Some Wi-Fi networks require

a fee. To join a Wi-Fi network at a hotspot where charges apply, you can usually open

Safari to see a webpage that allows you to sign up for service.

Joining a Wi-Fi Network

The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.

Turn on Wi-Fi: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on.

Join a Wi-Fi network: Choose Settings > Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects

networks in range, then select a network (fees may apply to join some Wi-Fi networks).

If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear

with a lock

icon).
