Jezuz, Stanley Lolz, Back To The Topic, What If I Tell You I Can Manage 10MB For 2 Days, Standley Is Right Instagram Drain Data Like No Man Business, I Don't Even Know When Last I Use It But If You Really Want To Save Data Always Restrict Your Background App

The android bloatware consumes alot of data continuously .. esp those of mid or low end phones..

Most people leave their data ON even when not in use..

The solution is..ALWAYS switch off you data when not in use.

Thank me later.

Restrict background apps
Watch out for data intensive sites Eg instagram, YouTube, etc (I mean know how frequently you visit them)
Switch off your data when not in use.
Set data usage limits from your settings.
Enable data saver options in your browser.

Do this religiously and monitor you data consumption before accusing ISPs of ripping you off.

Although I know Airtel data na wash sha grin grin grin

The GSM companies are diversifying their revenue sources. It is up to NCC to get in here. This is not about running multiple apps in the background or using Facebook and all that. The companies are behaving like Banks, seeking lazy ways to make money because you need that service
