6 Ways to make your Data Subscription Last Longer.

Data subscription has become one of the most sought for necessities with advancements in technology with platforms like Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Youtube etc. Coupled with the increasing ease of access to internet-enabled like Android and IOS devices, the demand for this commodity would only increase in the coming years.


Despite the overwhelming demand for data, you would agree that the amount of money required for its purchase is still relatively high, making it a necessity that should be handled with care. You must have had experiences where the data you purchased  doesn't last as long as it's expected to, making you wonder if something fishy is going on.


Well, here are the 6 ways you can make your data subscription last longer.

1. Limit your Data Usage:-  Yes, your mobile device has a feature that allows you to limit the amount of data you can consume. These steps do differ based on phone type. But the general procedure is to go;

• Settings on your device.

• Network or Data Settings.

• Go to your carrier(sim card either SIM 1 or SIM 2).

From here you would be able to see your data consumption levels and then you set the preferred threshold limit you would love to work with.

Disclaimer: This feature doesn't imply that when the limit you fixed is reached the data stops. No. You can still continue browsing. But you would be notified to switch off your data when it has reached the set limit.     

 2. Restrict App In background:- Certain apps use your data even when you have not opened them. They use your data in the background. This can be stopped by going to the app info on that particular app and switch off the background data feature.       

3. Switch On Data Saver mode:- Certain phones come with this feature to switch on data saver mode which also prevents apps from functioning in the background. 

4. Update Apps only over wifi:- With the need for new improved features that meet your needs, apps usually have regular updates which, depending on the app, consume large amount of data. But this can be checkmated by putting the app Update feature on wifi only. This implies that the app would only be updated when it is connected via wifi and not your cellular data.

5. Turn off mobile data when not in use:- This looks like a simple route but it is effective also. Turning off your data when not in use also reduces  the consumption of your data subscription.

6. Discipline:- When ever we open our social media apps and begin to scroll on the feeds, we are enticed by various contents. It takes discipline to only go for what you had planned,  before you get lost in the myriad of contents only to be reminded of what you came for by the notifications sms of your service provider telling you the amount of data you have remaining. Discipline is the sure way out.   So, there you have it.

The 6 ways to make your data subscription last longer for you. Hope you found did this article very useful.
