Data Usage: How I'm "Managing" My Internet Cost Now by Premiumwriter: 8:18pm On Jan 19, 2022
I can't stay off the internet. Not for a whole day and I know this is the same for a lot of peeps here too.

But buying data is really eating deep into my monthly budget.

I buy data up to 5-6k per month. 1k monthly data doesn't even last me up to a week and that's with a lot of managing on my part.

I can't keep up with this as a student. No be only data I get to buy.

Recently I switched from regular data to social data on glo. So far so good.

I now buy N100 social data which is 500mb. This can only be used for whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter (WTF data, that's the plan name by the way)

I then buy another N100 data for browsing strictly on opera mini (opera data)

So in a month I spend roughly N400-N800 as against N1000 to N5000.

This social data is quite OK for me as most times, all I do is check whatsapp for class updates and twitter and I browse nairaland mostly.

It's good cause you're a student.... I spend around 3k a month on data. I use close to 26gb. Here's how I manage mine. I buy 7Gb -#1500 for 1 month, then night plan #100 for 5days, sometimes more. Social bundle 2GB for #400. When my #1.5k bundle expires I roll over with #500 grin grin
My VPN is active on the average of 6hours everyday. The truth is no Data last reach Glo data.. argue with your Empty-hen and Hairtel tongue tongue

Instead of buffing your finance to accommodate your growing needs, you're cutting down.

What he's doing is actually smart tho. It's a temporary solution.

In the long run you need more income. You can't keep cutting cost forever. You can make money as a young person even on your phone.

When 3k is 20GB.
500 for 2 days means 15k a month.
