Tip 2: How to manage your Vodafone Uganda data usage

I know we have all complained before about how fast our data runs out. Some of us even cuss the customer care personnel and swear further action if they aren’t given a satisfactory explanation. After doing the same myself, I figured out ways on how to monitor and manage my data usage. This way, I can know when there is an anomaly or if my consumption has increased.

  • My Vodafone App/Self-care Web Portal

The My Vodafone app (available for Android and iOS) can do a host of things. One of them is monitoring data usage by showing your data balance in real time. It also shows how many people or devices are connected to your MiFi or router.

The Vodafone Self Care Web Portal: This shows your data balance, usage history and so much more.

For businesses, you can access the panel to your MiFi or router that provides advanced management controls like black/white listing  websites, devices or users, setting data quotas among others.
