Pre-paid cards, monthly charging or unlimited data plans... All of us here in South Africa, in Cape Town or somewhere else, are stared at our Tab or Smartphone: playing Pokémon Go, matching beautiful souls on Tinder or just texting our friends and family on WhatsApp.
We obviously all need to check and keep a close watch on our Data usage to avoid excess charges on our bill. Yes, it could be a problem when our Smartphones sneakily eat up our precious Data in the background. It's not an iPhone problem, it's an Android problem as well!
