Connecting to mobile networks

Your phone is configured to use the T-Mobile network for voice calls and for transmitting data. If your phone does not connect to the network, contact T-Mobile.

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 2G 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 special ways when roaming.

The icons in the Status bar indicate which kind of data network you’re connected to and the voice and data network signal strength.

Connected to the fastest 3G networks (UMTS or HSDPA)

Connected to the second-fastest network (EDGE)

Connected to a 2G network (GPRS)

The more bars are lit, the stronger the wireless signal

Connected to a T-Mobile partner network (roaming)

When you’re 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 69.
