About the preferred wireless network list
Your wireless service provider might have agreements with other wireless service providers that permit you to use their services when you are traveling. You can use the preferred wireless network list to control the order in which your 
BlackBerry smartphone uses these other wireless networks.
Your smartphone tries to connect to a wireless network based on the order in which the wireless networks appear in your 
preferred wireless network list. When you travel, your smartphone scans for the wireless networks on this list first. If no 
wireless network on the list is available, your smartphone is designed to connect to another available wireless network 
automatically.
Note: Extra fees usually apply when you roam. For more information about roaming fees, contact your wireless service 
provider.

About connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Your BlackBerry smartphone can use the Wi-Fi network instead of the mobile network to visit webpages, send and receive 
email messages, and so on. When you connect to the Internet with a

Hotspots are available in many public places. Some hotspots are free to use, while others require payment. Your wireless 
service provider might provide an application for your smartphone that allows you to log in to a hotspot. If you do not have 
an application on your smartphone, you might have to set up your own account online and log in manually.
If you have an access point or router that supports , you can connect to it using Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
