Clap for yourself. You download only 5 video clips. Did you check the size of these videos before downloading? Do you know that videos consume more MB than anything? I also use this same plan and i'm careful of how often i use it to watch videos.

No matter the size of the video clips, you can't consume upto 150MB, in this case, windows update is running background, your antivirus, and other hidden updates.

You can opt to the daily Airtel unlimited plan using *440*18# (cost NGN100)

Or pay for 2 days consecutively and get d 3rd day free using *440*018 (cost NGN 200)

Goodluck

According to you, the 3 days plan is 240MB, now let's do the mathematics.. 240MB for 3 days cost NGN200 x 10 times (equivalent of 30 days) = NGN2000 for 2400MB (equivalent of 2.4GB)...So you pay 2k for 2.4GB monthly. Good or Bad?

Firstly the meaning of video clip is a recorded video within a short duration, let say 3-10 min highest.

So a video of 1hr duration isn't a clip...is that clear?

And Finally, windows update consumes more mb than anything IF the window os is out of date, so don't doubt that update. You can turn it off to save your MB, its not necessary if you don't use ur pc mostly

Do i look or sound like a fool, of course i knew the sizes of the videos, they were merely 20mb, 15mb and others respectively.. I was just asking if there are any oda alternatives..

...and I don't think anybody said that, except you are thinking to be one besides I already said the alternative from my own point, so take it or leave it.
