After buying your MTN data, it is best you do the following to reduce data consumption on your device
- Restrict background data on your apps: Go to Settings on your phone and restrict apps from using your data while they are inactive, this will go a long way in saving your data because apps like Facebook, Instagram & Snapchat tend to consume a lot of data in the background.
