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, Sprint 4G, Data Services (Sprint 3G Network),
and Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
This section addresses your phone's data connections and the built-in web browser. Additional
data-related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and Entertainment, and
Tools and Calendar.
Connect Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to
100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or hotspot. Some
access points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information.
Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to
connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other
information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a
static IP address and other advanced settings, tap > Advanced Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi
settings menu.
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Network
Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to enable your phone's Wi-Fi radio and connect to an
available Wi-Fi network.
1. Tap > > System settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi switch to turn Wi-Fi on and scan for available Wi-Fi networks.
A list of available Wi-Fi networks will be displayed. Secured networks are indicated
by a lock icon.
If the phone finds a network that you have connected to previously, it automatically
connects to it.
3. Tap a network to connect to it.
If the network is secured, you will be prompted to enter a password. (Ask your
network administrator for details.)
