NPOWER DEVICE NEWS: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NPOWER MTN SIM CARD

The Npower enpowerment program partners with MTN to distribute the Npower devices to beneficiaries of the Npower volunteer program. This partnership means that the Npower devices are distributed with Npower MTN sim cards. Although the Npower MTN sim cards look like every other MTN sim card on the market, there are quite a few differences between the MTN sim card you will buy along the road and the Npower MTN sim card that ships with your devices.


 When you remember that the Npower MTN sim card gives you free internet for one year, that should tell you that there are certain configurations that have been done on the sim card that you should want to know. That is the exact purpose of this post. We will discuss how to conserve data on your Npower MTN sim card, how to recharge Npower mtn sim card, how to check balance on Npower MTN sim card, Npower MTN sim card internet settings, etc

 The first thing to know is the obvious fact that you have free internet access for one year. Great news right? Of course and the organizers of the Npower enpowerment program should be given kudos for such foresight. However, you must know that the free internet on the Npower MTN sim card is capped at 750MB of data monthly. The implication is that if you are youtube movie streaming freak, or just love to download pieces of stuff off the internet, you will exhaust this data pretty fast.

 Personally, I consume roughly 20GB of data every month so I can only imagine how conservative someone needs to be to ensure the data is not exhausted too soon. If the data is exhausted before the next month when renewal is due, the user must subscribe to data with his/her money.
To conserve data, beneficiaries of the Npower volunteer program can take the following steps:

1. Turn off data when not needed at all.

2. Go to data usage on your device and restrict background data.

3. People have formed the habit of callously sending large and annoyingly useless files on WhatsApp. Ensure to turn off media auto-download on your WhatsApp. Go to settings, select data usage, and under media auto-download (when using mobile data), select no media.

4. Go to your google playstore and under settings, auto-update apps, select auto-update apps  over wifi only.

5. Avoid streaming videos unnecessarily on youtube and facebook. Turn off video auto play under settings in both facebook and youtube.

6. If you must teether the internet connection on your Npower device to your laptop, ensure that you set the connection as a metered connection and password protect the wifi network. READ:How to Stop Windows 10 From Consuming your Mobile Data to see how to do this.

7. Use browsers that conserve data like opera mini and UC web browser for simple web browsing.
If you follow the steps above, you will notice a significant improvement in your data validity period.

 THE NPOWER MTN SIM CARD IS POST PAID NOT PRE-PAID

The Npower MTN sim card is a post paid sim card not prepaid. This fact leads to two other facts. How to recharge your Npower MTN sim card and how to check balance on your Npower MTN sim card are markedly different from how to recharge or check the balance on your regular MTN sim cards.
