To manage your data, you can choose to switch to 3G network.<br />• Website visited – the more pictures, videos or graphics on the websites visited, the more data is used<br />• Streaming of music/ videos on YouTube, Hulu, Netflix and other channels<br />• Games – games use a lot of data due to the graphics and algorithms that power them,<br />• Social media applications such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, etc.<br />• Video-chatting and conferencing applications like Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp Video, etc.<br />To manage your data, set a data usage limit on your device. This way, you cannot use more than your specified volume of data.</p><p>General Data management</p><p> Turn off automatic update for Apps and activate update notification request.<br /> Disable background Apps refresh.<br /> Set unused Apps on WIFI while Apps regularly used should be on Mobile data.<br /> Set up limits and alerts to manage data usage on device.<br /> Ensure all Apps are not on desktop mode but mobile mode.<br /> Update, background data, upload and download of heavy files should be set on WiFi only<br /> Note that connection speed throttled at 4G consumes more data than 3G, so network mode should be set on auto or 3G/2G.<br /> Limit background data usage.</p></div> <div class="body-ft"></div> </div> Thu, 20 Jan 2022 17:00:46 GMT https://community.mtnnigeria.net/questions/2866901-pls-sim-card-data-consumption-can-reduce-rate/answers/7402319 https://community.mtnnigeria.net/questions/2866901-pls-sim-card-data-consumption-can-reduce-rate/answers/7402319 7402319 answer 0 https://community.mtnnigeria.net/users/17653498 theme-c/avatars/48.png 2866901 <div class="body "> <div class="body-hd"></div> <div class="body-bd"><p>I bought data of 2.5 GB and was already cleared within 3 hours without much browsing</p></div> <div class="body-ft"></div> </div>
