Your phone automatically checks for and connects to an available known network when a network connection is needed. Selection is based on the connection settings, unless there are application-specific settings applied.
Select
> Settings and Connectivity > Settings.
Select Mobile data > On.
Select Allow mobile data usage > Worldwide.
Using a mobile data connection to connect to the internet when abroad can raise data transfer costs substantially.
You can also set the phone to use a mobile data connection only when in your home network or home country.
Select Mobile data > Off.
An access point can be a mobile data connection or a Wi-Fi connection.
You can collect access points in a destination list, and rearrange the priority order within the list.
Example: If a Wi-Fi access point is ranked above a mobile data access point in a destination list, the phone will always try to first connect to the Wi-Fi access point, only connecting to the mobile data access point if the Wi-Fi network is not available. |
Select Network destinations > Access point.
Select Network destinations > Internet.
Select and hold an access point, and from the pop-up menu, select Change priority.
Tap the position in the list to move the access point to.
