To some people, without staying on the internet at most 1 hour per day tend to be impossible. I could count some guys that would never miss logging in to their social handles just to respond to their messages and notifications, Nairaland and Lindaikeji blog for celebrity news and gossip, Naij, VanguardNgr for national news , FrankAppTech for internet and browsing tips. Affordable Android data subscriptions might be a hard choice.
Nowadays, it is getting difficult to access the internet cheaply especially for Android and iOS users. But the freedom to these is dependent on the subscription plan you are currently engaged. For Android users, it is a game of how much data you can manage. Android is powered by system apps and some third party apps either from Play store or numerous sources and most of these apps have data hungry background activities. It would be a bet to see someone’s data plan from being active up to 30days.
Efforts by our local network providers, MTN, Airtel, GLO…, sometimes are not fully utilized by their customers. A normal data subcription lets say 2GB of data for 30 days might not take someone’s heavy usage and this will not cost nothing less than N2000. But there are few data plans that can keep you on the internet for a considerable numbers of days. Though, these plans are somewhat boring in the sense that they only give you access to a predefined activity.
