Connecting to the internet

For many people connecting to the internet is their first challenge. If you are at work, or out and about, chances are you'll find a Wi-Fi network that you can connect to for Internet access. When your phone or device is near and Wi-Fi is on, you will get notifications of available, high-quality, public networks. On these notifications: To connect to the network, tap Connect.

Remember to only connect to networks you know and trust. More information about free Wi-Fi can be found here

At home you need an Internet Service Provider or ISP. Your mobile phone company, home phone, cable television provider or even your local supermarket chain can offer you an internet connection. A broadband internet connection allows you to access the internet and you can set up your own Wi-Fi network for your own convenience.

More information about organisations and activities geared to showing you how to get connected can be found below.
