Turning your phone on and off

When your phone is on, it is connected to your wireless service provider’s network (provided you are in a coverage area) so that you can make and receive phone calls and use wireless services, such as email, messaging, and the web browser. During initial setup, your phone is automatically turned on, so you can use wireless services right away.

If you turn off your phone, you can still use the organizer features such as Calendar and Contacts, as well as the media features such as Pocket Tunes and Pictures

&Videos. You might hear this referred to as flight mode because you must turn your phone off when you’re on a plane.
