What kind of Data User are You?

Today, mobile data forms a big part of our lives and our overall smartphone experience.  This is what enables us to download apps and stay connected to our friends and the rest of the world for that matter via social media.  But everyone uses data differently—therefore, Digicel offers a variety of plans to suit all your data needs for as low as $70.  The way you use data can help you to determine the type of plan that you choose.  Take this brief quiz to find out what kind of data user you are:

App Central

Wonder Timer

Keep time for just about everything that you do with the Wonder Timer app.  Pasta boils in 10 minutes, your yoga session lasts 30 minutes and you need to take a 15 minute break in the afternoon.  Keep everything on track with this app...no more over-boiled pasta or 15-minute breaks that turn into two-hour siestas.

Tech Tip

Turn off your mobile data when it’s not in use or if your data plan has expired.  This way, if there is an app that is secretly accessing the internet in the background, you won’t incur unexpected charges or exceed your data limit.
