Frequently Asked Questions

How much mobile data do I need per month?

It depends on your usage - light users (mostly texting and browsing) may only need 2-5GB, while heavy video streamers can use 30GB or more per month.

Does video streaming quality affect data usage a lot?

Yes, significantly. Standard definition video uses roughly 0.7GB per hour, while HD can use 1.5-3GB per hour, and Full HD can use even more.

How can I reduce my mobile data usage?

Connect to Wi-Fi when available, lower video streaming quality, disable auto-play videos on social media, and turn off background app refresh for data-heavy apps.
