‘Nigeria is one of the countries with the
most expensive data costs in the world
with internet users groaning in pains while
accessing information.
Despite the efforts of the Federal
Government to fully revamp the Nigerian
economy in a post-recession era, it is
very important for individuals and
organisations to reduce their disposable
income, especially expenses made on
airtime and data connection.
This is an issue that has an adverse
effect on the standard of living of
individuals, as more consumers leave
above their means buying airtime or
data.
There is a particular time of the month
when our service providers debit some
crazy amounts from our accounts,
because they claim that we used that
much in data.
WHAT TO DO
Financial coaches have advised that
airtime and data bills should be kept in
check with effective concepts. Some of
the tips below will help avoid the
ridiculous monthly charges:
TURN WI-FI ON
Using Wi-Fi will save a lot of your
airtime because you are using someone
else’s data for free. So, the first tip is to
use Wi-Fi as much as possible! To access
Wi-Fi, turn your Wi-Fi setting on, and a
network will become available when you
are near a Wi-Fi hotspot. When you do
access the internet via Wi-Fi, be sure to
turn your ‘mobile data’ setting off.
