Hello,
How does Wi-Fi + work on my mobile and should it be activated all the time?
If I leave my home, should it be activated so that it can connect to the internet outside?
Thank you.

    Hello,

    this is to automatically connect you to known WiFi networks whenever you're nearby, in order to save your 4G data, but it also helps to have the best possible connection between WiFi and 4G. And no, you don't have to use it, it's up to you.

      Hello and thank you,
      And if I want to use the Internet outside of my home, how does it work or what do I need to do for it to work?
      Thank you

    Are you connecting on 3G or 4G, or is there a problem? I don't understand you.

    Hello and thank you,
    So, does 4G allow you to connect anywhere actually?
    Sorry, I'm not from the high-tech generation.
    Thank you

    Hello,

    I believe everything has been said.
    The smartphone is not really intended to function on Wi-Fi.

    We use Wi-Fi if the 4G or 3G connection is poor and we have a Wi-Fi access point, or if we have a small plan that we want to conserve (small plan = less than 5 GB)

    And we must not forget that Wi-Fi is a big energy consumer: When activated constantly, it significantly reduces the phone's battery life.
