What to do when you run out of data? Don't miss these tips!

All of us smartphone owners dread that moment: " You've used 100% of your MB." It's the least desirable message, as it has unpleasant consequences: significantly slower browsing, having to wait ages to download photos, and watching life go by while our social media timeline loads.

How to survive this nightmare?

• The first and most obvious solution is to use Wi-Fi . If you're at home or in a space with Wi-Fi, don't hesitate: use it. Many restaurants and shopping centers usually offer this service completely free of charge . Request the password, connect, and you'll notice that your browsing experience is faster.

• Second, you can use apps that require less bandwidth . Experts say WhatsApp is useful in these situations; however, we have to forget about multimedia content. If we're talking about Facebook, we can turn to Facebook Lite , which we already introduced in this post . For Twitter, we can turn to Tinfoil , an app that reduces the size of content on this social network , making loading times more bearable.

• For internet browsing, we can use the Opera Mini browser, which has a tracking feature where you can check how much data you're saving . It also offers a smart download feature that organizes downloads by size and postpones larger ones until you have a Wi-Fi connection.

• Finally, if you believe prevention is better than cure, we present My Data Manager. This useful app lets you monitor your data usage , which apps use the most data, or set alarms to notify you when you exceed a certain percentage of your bill , among other things. Plus, if you also have a calling and texting plan, you can track it through this app.

In conclusion, it's true that after using up all your megabytes, browsing becomes more cumbersome and less comfortable. But now we have tools to control our usage and remedies to make the wait for more megabytes more bearable .
