Seems I will consider this unlimited bundles. I manage my data yet it is not enough every month.

But I know surely, soon, data will be very very cheap.

All it takes is one idea.

Try Mtn 9000 naira for 45gb every month
They give you 1.5gb everyday for a month
It’s doable and it saves cost if you’re not a high data user

Please How does the MTN always on work? And how much?

Does it require any code, sim?
Thank you.

I use mtn always on. If data allocated for that day finishes, I just subscribe mini packages for one or two days to supplement the main package. Even if you subscribe 1TB that is supposed to last you for a long time,these people will make sure it finishes under a short time. But with these always on packages, they have no choice than to allocate daily data to you for 30 days.

Re: How Do I Lower My Data Costs? by AllLovingGod: 9:47am On Jun 29

Any special code for this?
Thank you.

you follow the normal subscription procedure of 312, the data, next and so on. There is a package of N5,500 that will give you 620mb every day for 30 days. Any day you didn't finish data allocated for that day, it will be added to that of the next day. This happens for 30 days duration of the package. There is another one of N9000 which is 45gig that will be shared across 30 days for you.

I have observed that my data cost is increasing every month.
Before now I used 4k worth of data for one month but after the rate increase by the telcos even ten thousand Naira worth will finish before the end of the month.
Any suggestion for where I can get cheap data will be welcome.

I spend and average of 400 Naira (2g) daily on data. That’s about 12k monthly

If you are in Lagos. Just go for Spectranet. Give them a trial . Then come here and tell us the outcome

Re: How Do I Lower My Data Costs? by Bahamas95(m): 10:01am On Jun 29

Just 4k monthly for data and someone is still complaining.

You need to write us a book on how you did it because the last time I checked I used 34k worth of Data in one month

Comprehension is your problem.

I want to believes those spending so much on data are people using it for business, otherwise, I don't see why we need to spend beyond our capacity on data subscriptions.

Ordinarily, i was not suppose to reply someone like you but i will because of other inexperienced people like you. What has the data comsume by individuals has to do with politics or whatever the reasons behind your unreasonable reply to my aimless post,

I am always at least 16 hours on internet each day, and sometime if i dont have much money, i manage 1g data of #365 from Opay for a whole week. I dont watch video with it, i turn off automatic plays on social medas, yet it is enough for me to browse, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc for a week or almost. The problem of many people is that, they don't know how to cut their coats according to their sizes, how on earth will anyone be complaining about spending alot on data when he/she doesn't use the same data to generate money. If you cant do with excessive vidoe watching on social medias, then be ready to pay more and stop complaining. Gone are the days i blame telecom providers for my data usage, now I discovered I am the one wasting my data doing unnecessary stuffs on social medias. If i have enough money, i pay more , if i don't, i manage the one i can afford to the duration I can afford the bigger ones. That is how life should be, we should not be blaming government for everything, as hard as country is, I know some poeple who are making cool legit money each day, and they don't have time complaining like majority of us on Nairaland.

I just do alwaysOn plan and forget about data for the month. 7k though

Re: How Do I Lower My Data Costs? by Eniolohunda: 1:59pm On Jun 29

Don't worry about your expense on data, you'll cash it out from your online activities. I meant Facebook et al. After all, Nigeria youths said that's the new oil money.

Subscribe to a plan that allocates a fixed data quota every day. For example I am on an mtn 9k monthly plan which gives 1.5GB everyday. On days I need to go above it, I just buy a small daily plan.

Glo's is way cheaper though. If the Glo network in that area is good then it is a better option.

No boss MTN is way cheaper.... 45GB on the always on data for GLO is 9k, same 45GB on the always on data on MTN is 7k.

When I use *312#, what I see on mtn is 45gb for 9k. Except you subscribed with some sort of special code.

Re: How Do I Lower My Data Costs? by Anonimoux: 11:35pm On Jun 29

Just budget ₦20,000 monthly for data because wether you like it or not data is inevitable.
