Can You Connect an iPhone to Wireless Internet?

iPhone Internet

• IPhones are connected to AT&T's 3G data network by default. It is also possible to manually connect an iPhone to a wireless Internet service.
  
  

Connecting to Wireless

• Wireless Internet connection can be made by selecting the "Settings" icon from the home screen. Tapping the second item on the list, "Wi-Fi," will bring up the on/off option. After turning it on, users must select a local wireless service.
  
  

Benefits

• Wireless Internet can increase the speed of data downloads and browsing when an iPhone is not receiving a strong 3G signal.
  
  

Safety

• Like a computer, it is best to connect an iPhone to a secure wireless network when possible to protect any personal information on the phone.
  
  

Battery Life

• Utilizing the wireless Internet function on an iPhone will drain the battery at a faster rate than when it is turned off. To increase battery life, only use the Wi-Fi network for short periods of time and turn it off as soon as data connection is no longer necessary.
