How to Choose Data Packs (Without Overpaying)
Compare packs by daily cost and real usage: night data, rollover myths and hotspot traps.

The cheapest pack is the one you fully use before expiry. A giant cheap pack you half-waste costs more per usable MB than a smaller fitting one.
Steps
1Measure real usage
Check one month of app data usage per SIM. Most Nepali users overestimate and overbuy.
2Divide price by days
Rs 500 for 28 days beats Rs 300 for 7 days even with fewer total GB. Compare daily cost, not headline volume.
3Read the fine print
Night-only data, app-specific data and speed caps hide in terms. If 90% of your use is daytime YouTube, night data is worthless.
4Mind the hotspot
Tethering laptops burns packs 5-10x faster. Track hotspot usage separately for a week.
Good to know: Pack prices and contents rotate constantly - screenshot the in-app offer before buying so disputes have proof.

FAQ
Unused data rolls over?
Usually not unless the terms explicitly say so. Assume expiry forfeits the remainder.
