Minecraft: Pocket Edition uses UDP for networking, unlike Minecraft Java Edition which uses TCP. It is rumoured that Mojang will make the switch to TCP in a future update.
The client listens for Local Area Network (LAN) servers on port 19132. If you wish to join a server on another port, you must manually add it at in the servers screen.

Older client versions do not have a different version fot each beta build, which can get confusing. Keep that in mind.
