iPhone connects to the Internet using either a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network. iPhone does the following, in order, until connected:
Connects over the last Wi-Fi network you used that’s available.
If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi networks in range. Tap a network and, if necessary, enter the password to join. Networks that require a password show next to them. You can prevent iPhone from automatically showing available networks. See Wi-Fi.
If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to the Internet over a cellular data network (, , or ).
If no Wi-Fi networks are available and a cellular data network isn’t available, iPhone cannot connect to the Internet.
NOTE: If you don’t have a 3G connection, you cannot use the Internet over a cellular data network when you’re on a call. You must have a Wi-Fi connection to use Internet applications while also talking on the phone.
Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some regions, Wi-Fi hotspots provided by your iPhone carrier. Some Wi-Fi networks require a fee. To join a Wi-Fi network at a hotspot where charges apply, you can usually open Safari to see a webpage that allows you to sign up for service.
The Wi-Fi settings let you turn on Wi-Fi and join Wi-Fi networks.
Turn on Wi-Fi:

Join a Wi-Fi network:
Choose Settings _ Wi-Fi, wait a moment as iPhone detects networks in range, then select a network (fees may apply to join some Wi-Fi networks). If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that require a password appear with a lock icon).
Once you’ve joined a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone automatically connects to it whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, iPhone joins the one last used.
When iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top of the screen shows the connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the connection.
For information about configuring Wi-Fi settings, see Wi-Fi.
3G, EDGE, and GPRS allow Internet connectivity over the cellular network available through your iPhone carrier’s wireless service. Check the carrier’s network coverage in your area for availability.
You can tell iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network if you see the 3G (), EDGE (), or GPRS () icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.
NOTE: If you don’t have a 3G connection, you may not be able to receive calls while iPhone is actively transferring data over a cellular network—downloading a webpage, for example. Incoming calls then go directly to voicemail.
Turn 3G on:
In Settings, choose General _ Network and tap Enable 3G.
If you’re outside your carrier’s network, you may be able to access the Internet through another carrier. To enable email, web browsing, and other data services whenever possible, turn Data Roaming on.
