How To Watch Videos And Surf The Web Without Using A Lot Of Data by Wallie(m): 2:48pm On Feb 04, 2016
Since mobile phone data is very expensive, how do you do the following:

1. Surf the web for your favorite websites?
2. Watch videos on YouTube?
3. Watch Netflix?
4. Watch iRokoTV?

If you use Wi-Fi, where do you get your Wi-Fi from and how do you use it on-the-go? Or are people just stuck at internet cafes all day?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks! I'm going to try to keep up but please bear with me.

It sounds like people are using Bis on a non-Blackberry device because data is cheaper on a Blackberry? Notwithstanding the device, it still seems that you pay N4200 for 3GB?

How are you able to watch videos when a typical movie consumes about 1-2GB of data per movie?

Option 1: You can get 3gig for only 1k on glo network and make it work on your non Blackberry device. The processor of the device has to be Mediatek though to make tweaking your IMEI simpler. Doing this on non MTK devices is stressful and doesn't work sometimes. Once you've tweaked your IMEI, you subscribe to Glo BB plan and it works perfectly on your device. You can also share the network with your laptop or other devices. The speed of the network depends on your location. It lasts for one month.

Option 2: You can get 5gig on MTN network for only #70, #350 or #1000 daily, weekly or monthly respectively.
A software(don't want to call the name to avoid being banned), is then used to make the subscription work on your device. You can also share this network to your computer, with the help of another software installed on your computer.

I bet 5gig would be enough for you to stream to your satisfaction on a single day at the cost of only 70 Naira.

Thanks for the info! By the way, I wasn't trying to do anything illegal nor do I have a reason for doing so. I'm not even based in Nigeria. I can now understand why people are hesitant.

My intention is honest and it stems from the fact that Netflix is opening up shop in a country where most people use mobile phones and data cost a fortune. Personally, I do stream Netflix to my cellphone daily on my commute home from work but that's because I have unlimited data with my carrier. As of today, I've used 11,931.53 MB (12GB) of data on my cellphone and my billing cycle ends tomorrow. And even at home, our broadband internet access is unlimited, and Netflix and YouTube are constantly being streamed.

As I alluded to, I'm trying to develop a solution to the problem but I want to better understand the pain-points before wasting my time and resources.

Ok, now I understand.
Well, most young Nigerians would only afford and exhaust 12GB daily through a 'backdoor'. Can't even imagine what these network providers would demand in exchange for such data. Though someone once told me that Spectranet data plans are relatively cheap. You might want to check their site to find out more.
There are also data re-sellers whose data are a bit cheaper than that of the network providers.
I hope this helps.

Others can also mention their data preference and experiences in Nigeria to help in your research.
