Your use<\/th>A plan to look at<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>

Heavy use, family or small business<\/td>Monthly 100GB to 210GB, or a 300GB+ long plan<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How much data does a video call use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Type of call<\/th>Data per hour<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Audio only<\/td>about 30MB<\/td><\/tr>
Screen sharing<\/td>about 22MB to 67MB<\/td><\/tr>

Example:<\/strong> If you have 10 one-hour video calls a week, plan for about 40GB or more a month<\/strong>. A 10GB plan will cover only about 10 hours of video calls a month. Turn your camera off, or lower video quality, to use less data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three things to notice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Small plans cost the most per GB.<\/strong> The monthly 8GB plan costs only \u20a6500 more than the 4GB plan and gives you double the data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Weekly plans give more data per naira, but only for 7 days.<\/strong> Four weeks of the \u20a65,000 20GB plan costs \u20a620,000 for 80GB. The \u20a620,000 monthly plan gives 100GB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Everyday-ON 40GB at \u20a67,500 costs less than the monthly 35GB plan at \u20a610,000.<\/strong> The catch is the 1.33GB daily limit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
