Tips

Light bulbIf you want to watch streaming video without using any of your monthly wireless data allotment, set your data-ready device to Wi-Fi when in range of a wireless Internet signal. Or tune into free public Wi-Fi, available in some cafes, airports and public spaces. You can switch to Wi-Fi mode in the "settings" menu.
