Do not download and upload using mobile data

When you are on your mobile data, uploading medias such as music, video and mostly images can consume a lot of data. The upload traffic uses a lot of mobile data so it is recommended to send pictures and videos only through Wi-Fi network. It is also not wise to download files through 3G or mobile data if you want to save data. The next time you are sending a picture through viber or messenger to your friends, remember that it can cost more data than using Wi-Fi.
