Why do people end subscriptions?
Most of the time, users face loss of airtime even if they have subscribed to a bundle. That’s happening because most of the downloaded apps use data in the background or maybe users had accidentally said yes to any subscription. Out-of-bundle is another reason for the loss of airtime. So, to save airtime, users end their useless subscriptions.
How to save your airtime?
You can save your airtime by the following setting on your phone.
- Turn off your data, when not in use.
- Turn off all kinds of automatic apps update or software updates on mobile data.
- There are a lot of apps using data in the background. Switch off your data while using these apps.
- Purchase data bundles to avoid out-of-bundle charges.
