We all know how expensive internet access is in
Nigeria.
Smart devices are the in-thing now, and
they simply cannot be used without a generous
data plan;
Android devices are already known to
consume lots of data, this is the main reason why
some people constantly look for ways to use Blackberry subscriptions on Android devices – trust
Naija people. Well, there is now a way to share your
internet subscription with other phone lines on the
same network provider. For people who have
multiple devices this might prevent the need to
subscribe for BIS on your BB and at the same time subscribe for data on your android device as well.
You can also share your data with friends and
family, e.g. in a case where you don’t do heavy
browsing on one of your devices and require a
smaller data allowance on that device, you can give
some of your data to someone who needs it.
Since data is cheaper the larger the data allowance you
purchase.
Note:This is quite different from data gifting.
