What we understand and what unlimited data really is
We consume more and more Internet on our mobile and companies have adapted to this behavior, offering data rates with unlimited GB at a good price. Nail very versatile rates that, depending on our uses and what is best for us, these are easily adapted to us.
In this sense, these data are those that are intended for the use of the internet on the smartphone. Thanks to them you can connect to the network of networks, watch videos, download web content or use all kinds of applications. Thus, when they talk regarding unlimited data, we imagine that we will be able to surf the internet without restrictions.
Or what is the same; that the data will never run out and you will always have the same internet connection speed. But is this really so? The truth is that no. For this reason, although a priori it may be a good decision to hire them, it is also true that there are other reasons not to do so. Of course, everything will depend on the use we give it, but there are others that will not be as productive for us. And it is that the unlimited mobile data will not be exhausted throughout the month, but they may exist certain restrictions to daily data usage. In addition, despite the arrival of 5G technology, there are also other limitations, such as its use in roaming, connection speed…
Why is it good to hire them?
Nowadays, we all use mobile phones in different aspects of daily life. We are great consumers of information and we seek to communicate continuously, be it to share with the family or for work matters. Therefore, having ‘infinite gigabytes’ represents a great benefit for anyone.
Thus, we are increasingly looking for better options to have access to calls and navigation from the mobile phone, which has become our inseparable companion. Because of this, a basic question arises in this regard: What are the advantages of an unlimited plan?
- Don’t worry regarding spending. Probably, one of the great considerations to bet on them. And it is that having an unlimited data plan avoids us having to constantly monitor the amount of data you have, as well as the concern of running out of data in the middle of some important matter.
- To work from anywhere. One of its main advantages is precisely the versatility of its capabilities and the applications that can be accessed through them. Our devices are now capable of solving a large number of tasks related to very diverse professional performances, and with this unlimited data, more. So much so that they can now be carried out freely and from anywhere.
- we can share them with all our devices. Another great advantage of mobile data is that we can share it from the phone with all kinds of devices, such as smart TVs, laptops or tablets. Thus, the mobile also performs the function of a router.
- Ver series and films anytime. It is no longer necessary to be in front of the television at a specific time in order to watch our favorite shows and movies. Currently there are streaming services that allow us to watch the series and movies that we like the most at any time and in any place and most smartphones are compatible with this kind of streaming service, so all you need is a connection to Internet.
Why is this not such a good idea?
With this, what we see is that we can contract various mobile phone rates with different gigabytes of data. In any case, and although the previous points are the ones that mostly occupy all the attention, it is also true that it is not always the best idea.
In fact, and as something important to encrypt, is that not all companies offer unlimited data. In general, those that offer a greater variety of offers to have internet on the phone are ‘the big three’, that is, Movistar, Vodafone and Orange.
- Yes there are limitations. The limitations with unlimited data are mainly at the level of tethering and speed, without specifying specific limits for the monthly number of gigabytes available to the user, except in the case of Movistar, which establishes that 400 GB is the reasonable barrier. It is also convenient to know the real limits when calling since, although we are contracting unlimited calls, it may be the case that there is a limitation at the level of minutes and that, following exceeding it, separate charges begin to apply.
- restrictions in the connections. With the arrival of unlimited data, and with the restrictions already imposed by the companies, there are those who want to prevent us from using these rates continuously as substitutes for fiber connections.
- In a plane of unlimited calls It is also important if the service covers you outside the country, in which countries you can maintain the service and if the rate is the same or has additional costs.
