>  Avoid using Data without a Data Plan or a Data Add-on after the Data quota is over (Pay As You Use / PAYU). Data Packs are designed in a way that ensures a user is given the best value via the best Data rates and is much cheaper than PAYU.

>  Pay-As-You-Use (PAYU) will charge you for using Data when your Data quota is over or when you do not have a Data plan. In PAYU you will be charged up to a maximum of Rs 0.3 + Tax per on your Postpaid or Prepaid connection.

>  PAYU is not an effective method of using Data because Data charges get added to your Postpaid bill or get deducted from your Prepaid reload balance as and when you consume Data.

 

>  With this facility, you have the option to disable Pay-As-You-Use which will NOT allow you to use Data without having a Data plan activated or when your Data quota is over. This option can be manually switched on/off at your discretion. 

 

This facility is currently available for both Prepaid and Postpaid customers via the USSD menu [#678# à Mobile Data Plans à Pay-As-You-Use/Excess Usage Manager (Data)] or the MyDialog App [Open MyDialog App à Scroll Down to “Other Services” on the dashboard à Click on the “Pay As You Use” option à Disable/Enable PAYU]

 

>  Data packs are designed in a manner that the higher the price of the plan the lower the price per GB becomes. Therefore, it is recommended that subscribers use the self-care app, get an idea of the Data consumption for the month and activate the pack which suits them the most.

 

>  There is a wide range of packs available for users, based on their individual needs. Therefore, it is highly recommended that users activate a suitable Data Pack, in order to better manage their mobile Data usage.

 

>  In a situation where the Data Quota finishes on an ad-hoc/special one-off basis, it is advisable to purchase a Data Add-on which is designed with a wide range of flexibility.

 

>  Some Mobile Data Packs include a nighttime Data quota given by Dialog as a Free Data Bonus. Take advantage of your nighttime Data quota for software updates, large file downloads, and for backing up your Data. This will help you effectively utilize your Data pack.
