Ryoko gives you fast, reliable data almost anywhere - but your plan is still a limited resource. A bit of “data awareness” helps you enjoy your trip without worrying about suddenly running out.
Streaming and video calls are usually the biggest data eaters. Watching a movie in HD can use several gigabytes, while standard definition uses much less. If you’re on the go, switching streaming apps (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) to a lower quality is an easy win. The same goes for social media: turning off auto‑play for videos and stories can save a surprising amount of data over a week.
Background apps also quietly consume data when you are not looking. It’s a good idea to:
- Disable automatic app updates over mobile data.
- Turn off cloud backups while traveling.
- Restrict background data for heavy apps like maps, cloud storage, or social platforms.
Ryoko helps by letting you keep an eye on usage - check your remaining data in self‑service and on the device screen regularly. With a quick weekly check‑in and a few small habits, you stay in control of your data instead of being surprised by a “plan almost used” notification.
