Connect to the Internet
iPhone connects to the Internet whenever necessary, using a Wi-Fi connection (if available) or
your carrier’s cellular network. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see Connect
to Wi-Fi, above.
When an app needs to use the Internet, iPhone does the following, in order:
•
Connects over the most recently used available Wi-Fi network
•
Shows a list of Wi-Fi networks in range, and connects using the one you choose
•
Connects over the cellular data network, if available
Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, apps and services may transfer data
over your carrier’s cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact your carrier
for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage, see Cellular
settings on page 199.

content, and buying music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
If you already have an Apple ID, use it when you rst set up iPhone, and whenever you need
to sign in to use an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one
whenever you’re asked to sign in. You only need one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple.
