  • Ooredoo Shares Data Use Tips

Mobilk - These days, we all increasingly conduct our lives through our smartphones, enjoying all kinds of new digital services, apps, and content. We have moved on, from sharing simple text messages and pictures with family and friends to sending voice messages and videos and making live video calls. 

All this smartphone activity eats up a lot of data and so it’s important to know how to make the most of your data plan or allowance. For example, a WhatsApp message needs just 200KB of data but add a picture and that becomes 500KB. With a one minute video added to the mix that number rises to 5MB! Sending a Snapchat picture takes 15KB but a ten second Snap Story turns that into 1.9MB. If you watch a five-minute YouTube clip in SD, it will use 10MB but if you watch that same video in HD, it is 100MB. All this is without your smartphone updating apps in the background or the web pages and apps that give content with more graphics, pictures and videos.

To keep up, Ooredoo is focussing on data experience leadership; providing not only cutting edge digital products and fantastic data plans, but a modern, reliable network to bring a faster and better quality service across Oman. With this, Ooredoo is providing data hungry subscribers tips on getting the best from the allowances in their chosen plans.

 “A good starting point is to keep an eye on your data use through the Ooredoo Oman App,” notes Ooredoo’s Raed Dawood, Director of Government Relations and Corporate Affairs. “That will help you budget your allowance during the month. If you find you need more data than you have, then it’s also worth popping into one of our stores to speak to an advisor on whether there is a better plan to suit your needs.” 

He continues: “It is also worth not automatically updating apps. Data hungry apps can update in the background and use data even when you are not using them.  You can turn off automatic updates on all apps and just refresh them whenever you wish. You will still be able to enjoy them as normal but you can control when and where to update them.”

“Another good idea is to switch off autoplay on Facebook and Twitter, so videos don’t start automatically when you are checking your timeline. While they are entertaining, you can use up a big part of your monthly data quota without even realising it.  Of course, the videos you choose to watch will work when you click on them.”

Concluding, Dawood said: “With our increasingly digital lifestyles, data has become more and more important and we use an ever increasing amount. So by following the few tips above, everybody can get the most out of the Ooredoo plan they are on.”
