Connecting to Mobile Networks
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is configured
to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting
data.
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.
Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network
available for data. You can also configure your phone to access a different
set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming.
The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data network
you’re connected to and the network signal strength.
Connected to the 4G network (LTE).
Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).
Signal strength - the more bars that are lit, the stronger the
wireless signal.
Connected to another wireless service provider’s network
(roaming).
When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using
your phone for data-intensive tasks until you’re connected to a faster
network again or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
To disable data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’
mobile networks when you leave an area that’s covered by your carrier’s
networks. You can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi connection when Global
data roaming access is restricted. This is useful for controlling expenses if
your cell plan doesn’t include data roaming.
