up, or if you are in an area with a different network than the last one used, you can change the network that the
phone connects to.

available networks, their signal strength and whether they are locked and need a network access key.
Scroll to the network you want and press Options. You can then Connect, view the Network details,
Search again, Add a network manually or view the Preferred networks.

successful and you are already signed in, the phone will go to standby mode. If you are not signed in you
will see the Skype sign in screen.
