Travelers consume an average of 3 GB of data per week at their destination and around 700 Mb is wasted in content not enjoyed because of social networks. According to data from Blink, our clients waste 23% of their data allowance when using Instagram, TikTok or Facebook because these applications preload content with the aim of loading videos in advance and thus retaining the user for as long as possible. within the apps.
The famous infinite scroll is a technique used by web pages and especially social applications to anticipate the user's intention so that the user does not have to wait a second to see new content. The reality is that a large percentage of pre-loaded content is not consumed and that generates unnecessary expense for data franchises. For this reason, it is recommended that if you are traveling and have a rate with limited gigabytes, you only use social networks when you have your smartphone connected to a WiFi network. That way you will prevent your franchise from being consumed sooner. Although we are interested in you spending your data to recharge, we are an honest company that seeks benefit for the user and not exactly improving our income margins.
Unnecessary consumption of energy and network resources
All operators that provide service to Blink make a very significant investment in networks with the aim of being able to absorb the huge amount of data consumed by the large Internet giants. Social networks and streaming platforms consume close to 60% of all the data that passes through the networks. For this reason, you must keep in mind that responsible use of the network is not only important for your pocket, it is also necessary for the balance of telecommunications companies and even nivel medio ambiental since, the greater the use of the network, the greater the energy consumption. What we tell you may seem like a chimera, but if all users are aware of savings in terms of data consumption, we will help the planet and will also prevent companies from having to raise prices to maintain the same quality of service.
Fair Use Policies
Algunos proveedores de eSIM apuestan por tarifas de datos ilimitadas con “Fair use Policy”, es decir, uso razonable de la red o limitación de velocidad temporal para que no se consuman datos en exceso. En el caso de Blink preferimos dejar al usuario libertad absoluta para consumir datos de forma intensiva y vender diferentes paquetes de datos adaptados a las necesidades de cualquier persona. Cuando un viajero llega a destino lo primero que hace es comunicarse por WhatsApp, abrir instagram o TikTok, chequear el correo electrónico y pedir un Uber o taxi para dirigirse al hotel. En estas primeras horas el consumo ronda los 500 megas de datos de media y a partir de ahí baja una vez que el usuario llega a destino y dispone de WiFi para navegar por Internet. Si haces un uso “normal” de tu smartphone, con 3GB weekly data tendrás suficiente, aunque utilices redes sociales, pero si eres de las personas que pasas mucho tiempo en Instagram o TikTok debes saber que el 23% de los datos que pagues no los vas a disfrutar. Serán “pre-cargados” para después no ser consumidos.
