DATA BUDGET:How to reduce data usage

Keeping in touch with the life around us has always been the reason the lot of us stay close to the internet services on our Android, IOS phones, and other electronic devices. Apparently, being able to stay current, interact and connect over the cloud does not come free, it is paid for. With every passing moment, service providers like MTN, Airtel, 9mobile and GLO tag a price on every megabyte offered, in so much that the free or unlimited data plan that used to be is rarely available anymore.

On the part of the users, several tons of data, that could otherwise be saved, are being consumed at a high rate. It, therefore, becomes important to know how to manage it so as not to expend whatever money you have. Follow up on the tips below and you should be able to rescue your data budget.

JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DATA

One incontestable way to reduce data usage and save cost is knowing how much data you need in the first place. It is easier to use something lavishly when it is readily available. But if every megabyte is reasonably accounted for, there will be no cause for any such unwarranted waste. To know your approximate need, and the plan you really need to subscribe for, keep tabs on your previous data usage and make a mental table of what really are your requisite needs online. Sum up a number of the unimportant ways you have put your data to use. Then approximately calculate just what bundle you will need for your next subscription. Your internet bundle should be slightly above your data needs in case of an emergent situation.

HOW TO SAVE DATA USING VTPASS.COM

Vtpass.com, as an online payment platform, helps reduce your data usage and save cost in more ways than one. For one, you can credit your wallet with a budgeted amount according to your need and capacity, and only fund your internet subscription from the wallet. This way, you can have an online account specifying just how much you are willing to use for your data subscription on your GLO, MTN, 9MOBILE and AIRTEL, networks.

Again, you can follow up on all your transactions through vtpass.com. This helps you keep track of your expenses. Not only that, you can even earn money on vtpass.com while buying data subscription on your device. This is possible through the Refer a Friend affiliate program. By referring a friend to the platform, you will be paid for the transactions they carry out. The good thing is vtpass.com, as an online payment platform, can be readily accessed even on your mobile device, so you don’t need a PC or laptop to get on the site. Log on to vtpass.com now to make payment and optimise data usage.

WIFI PLEASE!!!

ONE WAY TO REDUCE DATA IS TO USE PUBLIC WIFI — **USE WIFI IN PUBLIC LOCATIONS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN**

Really, considering the high rate of technological awareness in Nigeria, more and more places are being braced with wifis. There is, therefore, no need to use cellular data to update apps or download huge files. This can be done when within range of a wifi network. Also, streaming of high-quality videos needs not be done unless when wifi service is available. Better still, in very immediate circumstances, these videos can be downloaded or you can use offline options like YouTube Red.

BACKGROUND DATA

Several apps consume data in the background, getting updated severally, uploading messages or posts etc. One such app is Instagram. Because of the constant visuals, it deals with, its data consumption is on par. It is therefore advisable to regulate the number of people you follow on Instagram. This, of course, excludes those whose main line of operation, lie within this realm. But as much as possible, use wifi wherever possible to update or upload message with rich texts or high par images. You can also restrict the background data consumed by some apps on your Android phone. First, go to Settings> Wireless & Network> Data Usage. This presents the statistics of applications consuming the bulk of your data in ascending order. Click on any of such app and you will be given the option to restrict its background data.

COMPRESS YOUR DATA

Another way to reduce data usage is to optimise the use of browsers that help compress information before sending it to your mobile Android or IOS device. Such browsers include Opera Mini and Google Chrome.

SET YOUR LIMIT

If you are such one that still whittles off your data before its stipulated time of expiry, then it is good you set a limit for yourself, so that every now and then, you know just when to stop. You can also enable an alert that tells you when you are going over the bar. To do this on your Android, you should go to Settings>Wireless & Network>Data Usage. Below the Mobile data button (which should be switched on at this point), there will be an option to Set Mobile Data Limit, tick it, and then set your limit and alert level.

There is nothing better than being able to get your data subscription or renew your data plan, just when you want to, and still be able to save as much of it as you can. With Vtpass.com, this is very possible. Visit our website vtpass.com, to buy and renew your data. Also, utilise our affiliate programs to earn more money even as you stay connected.

PREMIER LEAGUE: THE UPS AND DOWNS

Have you been skipping on the happenings of the English Premier League as it unfolds on the field? Then you are missing out on a lot of fun. Catch up on the subsequent matches by logging on to vtpass.com and renewing your cable TV subscription now. In the meanwhile, you would want to know what has been in vogue for the past weeks.

Chelsea receives thrashing at home

For their very first match, Chelsea receives a brutal 3-2 defeat at the hands of Burnley FC. Sean Dyche, the manager of the winning club, proves that last year’s failure does not limit this year’s success. But more than this, many have hinged on this defeat saying it is more of a sign that Antonio Conte has lost his victory formula, and he is gone from being the fierce Teflon Don manager to being an unrecognisable complacent coach. Thibaut Courtois justifies this defeat, though, as a consequence of freak absences. By freak absences, he meant the shocking red cards flagged up for captain Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas. Diego Costa’s so-called exile can also be included as a resultant factor. This sped up the victory of Burnley, getting Chelsea off to a humiliating start.

THE STAR MAN IN TOTTENHAM’S VICTORY

Chelsea wins, the Spurs start low

Thibaut Courtois was proven right when he called Chelsea’s defeat to Burnley a wakeup call. Chelsea, in their consequent match with Tottenham Hotspur, showed they had come back stronger from their defeat. Not only did they beat Tottenham Hotspur in the match that ends with a 2-1. But they on a retaliatory note banked this victory at the Spur’s Wembley home.

All credit, however, goes to Marcus Alonso, the daring defender who brought the double to fruition. He is indeed the man of the moment. And his win is even more endearing against his unpleasant background. He was considered a mere glitch in Real Madrid. And most thought he didn’t have the guts of a Chelsea player.

This perception of him, however, is about to fizzle out. If it already has not faded away by now. While he only created goals in the past, taking little credits here and there, he has come upfront to being an indispensable scorer. The twist to this is that talks of his being replaced by other high profile players, specifically Juventus’ Alex Sandro and Tottenham’s Danny Rose had pervaded the air. But with the stunt he pulled against the Spurs, Conte will have to rethink the decision of dispensing with him. Or even forget he ever thought about it.

The new ‘unstoppable’ for this Premier League

Stunning 4-0 victories in two consecutive games! Call it chance games, call it sheer luck, however way you decide to see it, this is definitely worth calling remarkable. If you have been in tune with the Super Sports channels on your DStv, GOtv and Startimes decoders, you would relate to the fact that Manchester United are digging deep for the title this season in more dynamic ways than expected. Not only have they demonstrated athletic acumen in their games against West Ham United and Swansea FC, they have also discovered new premier league goalscorers.

THOSE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN

MAN UNITED REJOICE OVER CONSECUTIVE VICTORY

PAUL POGBA- THE MAN OF THE MATCH

Paul Pogba has been described the man of these matches, even joining the exclusive list of Manchester United’s exceptional scorers who ended one season with a goal, and the very next with a goal too (as seen in his stunning goal in the match against West Ham). Another is Anthony Martial, who has started out on an excellent note this season by scoring two goals in two games. New upstart he may be, but he seems to be blending well on the field with the likes of Romelu Lakaku and Paul Pogba. It was their rueful synergy that offset the three goals produced in just four minutes at the Swansea’s Liberty Stadium.

Another is Anthony Martial, who has started out on an excellent note this season by scoring two goals in two games. He seems to be blending well on the field with the likes of Romelu Lakaku and Paul Pogba. It was their awesome synergy that offset the three goals produced in just four minutes at the Swansea’s Liberty Stadium. While Jose Mourinho insists that Marcus Rashford still has to learn how to adapt to difficult situations and hostile treatments from rival fans, it is evident that the young chap has gotten off to an impressive start this season.

TRANSFER SUCCESSES

ROMELU LAKAKU- ONE OF THE TRANSFER SUCCESSES

Jose Mourinho has a lot to boast about his shrewd choices and bargains in the pre-season market. The inclusion of new players like Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lakaku and Victor Lindelof has proven to be quite tactical moves. Romelu Lakaku, on his part, is a perfect example of how a faithful never strays far from his master. During Mourinho’s stay at Chelsea, he was an abiding presence before he was transferred to Everton. Now back with Mourinho in Manchester United, he is proving to be just the striker that Manchester United needs. It would indeed appear that Manchester United is the new unstoppable for this English Premier League.

LA LIGA 2017 BEGINS SOON

Even as the English Premier League offsets in a most unexpected direction, the La Liga Santander is also due to begin on the 18^th August 2017. It’s the 87^th season of this world blazing football league. And for the umpteenth time, several happenings are kicking off the excitement that is to get even higher and louder once the game starts. The most throw-off-balance news heralding this season is Neymar’s historic sellout. He is being transferred from Barcelona FC to Paris Saint Germain (PSG) for a whopping sum of £222million.

WHAT PARIS SG’S MANAGER HAD TO SAY

PSG’S COACH RATES NEYMAR HIGH

The tagged prize which was meant to connote a Not for Sale sign was dismissed by the PSG’S manager, Unai Emery. He insisted that Neymar was worth any price. Inevitably, Neymar, who already felt weary of being Lionel Messi’s left, bought into their promise of doing things his own way. He opened the way for the deal to be finally sealed. For this La Liga season, you would want to see if Neymar was really worth all the hassle. Better still, you can watch how Barcelona will hold up themselves without Neymar in this La Liga season.

This is the more reason you should keep your Startimes, DStv and GOtv decoders active. Avoid the trouble it takes to make this happen by simply logging onto vtpass.com.

REACTIONS TO NEYMAR’S IMPENDING ABSENCE FROM LA LIGA 2017

NEYMAR BREAKS THE TRIDENT TIE

Barcelona fans can’t seem to still believe that they have lost their second-best player to one of their standard rivals. Andres Iniesta, Barcelona’s manager admits it will be one of their biggest losses. Neymar was indeed an invaluable player. He even went on to say that having Neymar stay at the club was worth more to him than the massive reward for his transfer. Suarez and Messi would miss him all the more for the terrific triumphs they had together. They were considered a perfect treble.

Many strange things have indeed happened. But for La Liga 2017, the best of them is yet to surface. Stay on top of the drills and remain connected to the live thrilling actions that are bound to occur this season by keeping your DStv, GOTV, STARTIMES cable subscriptions constantly renewed with VTPass.com.

Antonio Conte, Chelsea’s coach who plunged Chelsea into a sweeping victory during the last premier league has been described as the finest manager, and maybe one of the best coaches in the world.

DEFENDING CHAMPION, CHELSEA, WINS CONTENDERS

As gratifying as this is, it has won Chelsea stronger contenders for this year’s premier league 2017. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s coach, has proven that he will be one hard nut to crack this season. Due to his performance last season, the French newspaper L’Equipe has preferred him over Conte. They have named him best football coach. There are other upcoming coaches that might prove a strong challenge to Chelsea in this year’s premier league.

TRANSFER DEALS FOR ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE 2017-18

CHELSEA

NEMANJA MATIC BIDS FAREWELL TO CHELSEA

The transfer deals this season has been super terrific, even shocking! Nemanja Matic, one trending midfielder of defending champions, Chelsea FC has been transferred to Manchester United after a £40 million bid on him. Most fans see this as quite a strange action, considering Matic’s remarkable input last season. But it seems Conte has his eyes on a bigger fish. He wrestles with Manchester United over Bale, who is currently playing for Real Madrid.

Not only that, Chelsea is bidding for Southampton’s star player, Virgil Van Dijk. But their transfer deal is not about to go down without a hitch. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are also other options lined up for him. However, it is more likely that Chelsea will get Van Dijk. They have the favour of Southampton’s fans. But they are most likely to lose their bid for Bale.

MANCHESTER UNITED

ONCE A BLUE, ALWAYS A BLUE

More so, Wayne Rooney of Manchester United has rejoined his alma-mater team, Everton, after playing thirteen years for Manchester United. This has created a yawning gap whose job to fill has been given to Michael Carrick. Thus, he is now the new captain of the Manchester United squad.

9mobile is the new Etisalat!

It is no longer news that Etisalat, the mobile telecommunication company mostly renowned for its fast and widespread network service, has been recently changed to 9MOBILE. Now, this is not just a re-branding. It is rather a revamping of its administration and logo (the whole butterfly thing, back then, that was good).

They have promised to be bigger, better and faster. This is the point where you find the service we offer at VTPass very well-timed. Follow 9mobile’s progress at your comfort zone. Log on to our site vtpass.com to pay for your 9mobile airtime and 9mobile data subscription.

Why Etisalat changed to 9mobile

So come to think of it, what is the main reason for the change? Boye Olusanya, the Chief Executive Officer of the new 9mobile, states the reason in a mild manner. He says, in a speech, that “the telecommunication company has changed its name to 9mobile as a further testament of (its) unwavering commitment to ensuring business continuity as Nigeria’s fourth largest telecom operator. . . 9mobile represents our 0809ja heritage, our 9ja-centricity, and our evolution over 9 years of operations in Nigeria.”

9MOBILE DEFENDS ITS 9JA-CENTRICITY

But obviously, there is an inside story to this. Not planning to leave us too long in the dark, the real reason for this change has been disclosed. But first, you may need to know that Etisalat Nigeria, as you know it, emerged as a merger between two countries, Nigeria and UAE. The companies are Emerging Markets Telecommunications Services Limited (EMTS) and Emirates Telecommunications Group Company (Etisalat Group) respectively. These two corporations have been working together to keep Etisalat Nigeria running. But the hiccup comes when the former takes a loan of $1.2 billion from thirteen Nigerian banks, only to find it increasingly difficult to pay back. This causes the Abu-Dhabi centred firm to part ways with its Nigerian partners with whom, erstwhile, it has helped groom a flourishing business for nine years.

Easy payment for your 9mobile services

No panic, though.

Whatever the ongoing steam, Vtpass.com, the leading online payment platform, is always on ground to help you stay on track. We help you in renewing your airtime account at all times. Not only that, you can pay for your cable TV subscriptions, Electricity bills and other payable services.
