Introduction   

In today’s digital world, postpaid mobile data plans have become one of the most valuable assets for staying connected. These postpaid promos come with plenty of benefits, like unlimited calls and texts, high-end devices, free subscriptions, and high data allocation. Whether you are a student, an office worker, or a stay-at-home person, having enough mobile data is crucial to stay on top of things that matter to you.

Mobile data is designed for people who are always on the go. You can use it for streaming videos, listening to music, chatting with friends, or checking emails and notifications. More often than not, you find your usual data allocation insufficient for your needs.  

At DITO Telecommunity, our promos come with huge amounts of data, reaching up to 100GB, depending on the plan. If you want to make the most out of your data allocation, these tips and tricks will surely help:

Get the Most Out of Your Mobile Data Plan With These Tips!   

Running out of data is inconvenient, especially if you have something important to access online. While postpaid mobile plan users have more flexibility in their data use, some would still prefer staying within the limit of their monthly allocation.

If you are one of those people, here are some of the things that you can do:    

Find a Provider That Offers Add-Ons   

If you want to save up on your data, you need to find a plan that offers add-ons like extra data for social media apps or bonus data per month. DITO's postpaid plans can give you just that.  

At DITO, you will find promos that have bonus data on top of from your monthly allocation. You can have as much as 15GB and up bonus data monthly when you subscribe to some of DITO’s postpaid plans, especially if you choose the handset option. This gives you more confidence to surf and stream online without running out of data or spending extra.  

Switch to Your Home WiFi Network   

It should go without saying that you should make full use of your WiFi connection at home. Most internet service providers offer unlimited data that their subscribers can use if they are just staying inside their house. DITO, for example, has DITO Home 5G promos; these prepaid and postpaid plans come with unlimited data, giving you more leeway to surf online, stream HD movies, or even download large files.

To avoid accidentally using your data when there is a home network available, configuring your phone is a must. Make sure that your device suspends the use of mobile data and switches automatically to your home WiFi network whenever it is available.

Manually Cap Your Data   

Manually capping your data is the best way to go if you want to maximize your data use. This trick helps you control the amount of data consumed by your applications by limiting the background activity of your apps.

In many of today’s devices, there is an option in the setting that would allow you to use the data saver mode. It gives you the option to block apps that you don’t want to give data access to.

Use Data Compressing Applications   

There are plenty of apps that use data compression to minimize your data usage. The best part is that most of these apps are something that you already use. Some examples are Google and Opera Mini.

If you frequently browse the internet, we recommend downloading the Opera Mini and Google Chrome apps. Opera Mini has low data usage by default, but it also has an option that lets you adjust the data-saving feature for image or video quality. Meanwhile, Google Chrome has a built-in data-saving tool that you can enable through the settings.    

Download Your Music at Home   

Let’s be honest: for commuters out there, most of your data goes to streaming music either through Spotify or YouTube Music.  While music streaming doesn’t bear as much impact on your data as watching videos, it can still affect your data consumption, especially if you are subscribed to premium or high-quality streaming services.

The best way to avoid burning away data when listening to music is to download your favorite songs at home. Make full use of your postpaid unlimited data plan at home and download all the songs you want to listen to before you go out. This way, you can still listen to the tunes you like while using your data for more important purposes.  

Optimize Account Sync Settings   

Most of your social media applications are set to auto-sync by default. These apps synchronize services and files to make sure that all your information can be accessed even if you are using different devices. This is a convenient feature, but it consumes a lot of data in the process.

You can limit which services and accounts you would let consume your data through your phone’s account settings.

Upgrade to a Better Plan   

If your current mobile data plan is not working for you and your data allocation can’t seem to be enough no matter what you do, perhaps it is time to switch to a better plan that offers more data and bigger bonuses.

Review your previous data consumption and find the best mobile postpaid plan that could accommodate your monthly data needs. Be sure to also check if it fits within your budget.

Conclusion   

Running out of data can now be avoided through countless methods. By tinkering with your phone’s settings and upgrading to a better plan, you can enjoy using your data for longer.
