No matter how much of a conscious mobile data user you are, you can\u2019t avoid your data being guzzled up, especially when every social media app and website bombards you with videos these days.<\/p>\n

This leaves many of us living in fear of data caps, call limits and exorbitant mobile bills.<\/p>\n

We live in a time where we are spoilt with good quality music and high definition video, which means your data gets gobbled up quicker than before, and before you know it, you are stuck with a slow connection until the next renewal, or fork out more money to buy additional data.<\/p>\n

<\/span>But how much data do you really need?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer to this question depends on your mobile usage. Most plans today offer at least 3GB of mobile data allowance, and here\u2019s what you can do with that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

\nCalculation based on the mobile data calculator<\/a> by Confused.com.<\/font><\/i><\/span>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that the above usage is not cumulative. What this means is for 3GB you can only stream 1,024 tracks on Spotify OR<\/strong> 4 episodes on Netflix. On average, that\u2019s only 33 songs on Spotify a day! That\u2019s hardly enough for Malaysians who like to listen to music while stuck in bad traffic, or stream their favourite shows while commuting.<\/p>\n

If your usage is everything in the table above, you will likely need more than 3GB mobile data every month.<\/p>\n

<\/span>More data, more fun<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You might think putting away your phone in your pocket won\u2019t eat up your data, but it still does. That\u2019s because many apps (like email, weather and social network apps) have push notifications, where the apps update without you telling them to. That\u2019s going to use up lots of data in the background without you even realising it.<\/p>\n

According to findings from TNS\u2019s Connected Life<\/em><\/a> study released in 2014, Malaysians spend about 4.5 hours of leisure time online every day. The same study also found online entertainment to be popular in Malaysia, with 47% of Internet users stream music or radio online every week, 62% watch on-demand video and 44% watch paid TV or movies every week.<\/p>\n

Devices with 4G connection also offer smartphone users much faster Internet connection, and the amount of data we’re consuming is bound to rise.<\/p>\n

Today, our smartphones are more than just a communication device, it is also a powerful entertainment tool. If you use your smartphone for both communication and entertainment, you will definitely need to upgrade your mobile data.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Never worry about exceeding data limit again<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The #FIRST\u2122 plans have been upgraded to offer even more data than before \u2013 and it is undeniably the mobile plan with the highest mobile data quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

 <\/p>\n

Other than the higher data, the new plans also offer the option to combine weekday and weekend Internet throughout the month with AnydayGB\u2122 to be used any day. This was something Celcom subscribers did not get to enjoy previously. To use this feature, users will be charged a fee of RM10 a month.<\/p>\n

Even with the upgraded data, #Celcom users also get to enjoy unlimited WhatsApp & WeChat as well as unlimited Yonder Music.<\/p>\n

A smartphone can be as much used as a feature phone if you run out of data. You don\u2019t need to pay through your nose to get high mobile data allowance. With the advancement of technology, you need to keep up with more data on your phone, 24\/7.<\/p>\n

The plan that hits the sweet spot is none other than the Celcom FIRST\u2122 Gold Plus, which is offered at an affordable price of RM98. At RM98, you would typically get only 5GB to 10GB from other telcos. However, with Celcom, you are getting up to 40GB of data!<\/p>\n

With the option of combining your weekend and weekday internet data, you won\u2019t be left in a lurch on the months that you need more data.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be stuck with an expensive plan and insufficient Internet data. With the #Celcom FIRST\u2122 plans, you can manage your mobile spending better, and yet have more than enough mobile data every month!<\/p>\n
