Five Hacks To Stretch 24 GB
- Default to 720 p maximum in Netflix/YouTube settings.
- Turn off auto‑play videos and stories on Instagram, X, and Facebook.
- Enable Data Saver (Android/iOS) to block background sync.
- Use Wi‑Fi for OS updates—Windows/macOS patches can swallow gigabytes.
- Monitor live usage with
*228#
or phone‑built‑in data tracker.
FAQs
Does leftover data roll over?
Yes—renew before the 30‑day mark and remaining MB carry forward.
Can I hotspot my laptop?
Absolutely, but remember Windows updates and cloud‑sync folders can burn through data quickly.
Is speed throttled near bundle expiry?
No published throttle. Speed only depends on tower congestion once data remains.
Can I share or gift part of my 24 GB?
Yes. Dial *229*PIN*Volume*Recipient#
or use the My9mobile app’s Data Share.
Any night bonuses included?
No—this bundle is entirely anytime data, which many users prefer for simplicity.
