Pls fellas, its actually ma first time of using an android fone, been using BB all ma life, now I decided to switch to android to enjoy the features android fones comes with. But its been hell for me utilizing my data, I don't know if ders someone sucking my data like vampire.

Details of the phone below.
Tecno L8+
Android version 5.1 Lollipop
16GB Rom
2GB Ram.


Ok just imagine, My airtel 1.5GB monthly plan couldn't last more dan a week it finished, I wan mad.


Pls I presume der is something to do inorder reduce the amount of data being consumed by my andorid.

Pls Android users and basically Tecno L8+ users help me oh. Hw can I browse with ma fone without being scared of loosing data.

N/B I didn't download anything @all, just watsapp, nairaland, facebook and lil surfing online. That's all.
Plus, like I was told, always off ur data connection wen u aint browsing, which I did frequently.

I'll be glad if I get reasonable assistance here, nlanders

Mods: biko help a brother.

Since u are a BlackBerry lover, u bera go and buy Q10 join the phone, cos android dey zap data like mad


even andriod data subscription is expensive

Android sucks data a lot. You're only complaining because it's your first time. And you excessively used the data. There's no way 1.5gb would finish in less than a week. Even myself I downloaded some files and it lasted a two weeks. The fb mobile app is a great data consumer. It consumes data a lot. If you can't cope uninstall it and be using fb lite

No tariff, depends on your SIM eligibility.

Dial *474*1# to know if you're eligible or not
