Save on data costs
Want to go easy on your operator bills? Here’s how you can save on
data roaming costs.
Data roaming means using your tablet to receive data over networks
that your network service provider doesn’t own or operate. Your
network service provider can charge you a xed fee for data transfer or
on a pay as you use basis.
To save on data roaming costs:
• Connect your tablet to a Wi-Fi network. Using a Wi-Fi connection is
generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile broadband
connection. If both Wi-Fi and mobile broadband connections are
available, your tablet uses the Wi-Fi connection.
• Close the mobile broadband connection
• Change mail download settings
• Change sync settings
