Connecting to Networks and Devices 57 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. But you can configure your phone to use only a slower 1X network for data, to extend the life of your battery, between charges. You can also configure your phone to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming. The icons in the Status bar indicate which kind of data network you're connected to and the network signal strength. Connected to the high-speed EVDO Connected to the 1x data network The more bars 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 are connected to a faster network again, or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to. See "Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks" on page 59.
