    Wi-Fi enhanced connectivityWi-Fi Enhanced Connectivity offers a seamless 
    transition between connections when you switch from 
    the Verizon network to a Wi-Fi network.
    When you launch an Internet-capable app like the 
    browser, your smartphone scans for available Wi-Fi 
    networks even when Wi-Fi is turned off, and prompts 
    you to connect to an available Wi-Fi network. If you have 
    a usage-based data plan, you can save on your 
    subscribed monthly data allowance by using a Wi-Fi 
    connection rather than the Verizon network.
