Here is a post which is going to give you full details about the N-power MTN Sim Card, how to conserve data on your Npower MTN sim card, how to recharge the sim card, how to check the balance and how to configure the internet settings.
The npower empowerment program partners with MTN to distribute the npower devices to beneficiaries of the program. This partnership means that the npower devices are distributed with MTN sim cards. Although the npower MTN sim cards look like every other MTN sim card you buy but there are quite a few differences between the MTN sim card you will buy along the road and the npower MTN sim card that ships with your devices.

As we all know, the N-power MTN sim card comes with one year free internet access which enables beneficiaries to browse free for one year, that alone should tell you that there are certain configurations that have been done on the sim card.
However, you must know that the free internet on the npower MTN sim card is capped at 750MB of data monthly. Now, the question that comes across your mind will be like, the 750MB is it unlimited? The answer is capital NO.
The implication is that if you are a youtube movie streaming freak, or just love to download pieces of stuff off the internet, you will exhaust this data pretty fast.
Personally, I consume roughly 10 – 20GB of data every month so I can only imagine how conservative someone needs to be to ensure the data is not exhausted too soon. If the data is exhausted before the next month when renewal is due, the user must subscribe to data with his/her money.
How To Conserve Data on N-power Mtn Sim Card
To conserve the data on the Npower Mtn sim, beneficiaries must take note of the following steps below:
1. Turn off data when not needed at all.
2. Go to data usage on your device and restrict background data.
3. People have formed the habit of sending large and annoyingly useless files on WhatsApp. Ensure to turn off media auto-download on your WhatsApp. To do this, Go to settings, select data usage, and under media auto-download (when using mobile data), select no media.
4. Go to your google play store and under settings, auto-update apps, select auto-update apps over wifi only.
5. Avoid streaming videos unnecessarily on youtube and Facebook. Turn off video auto play under settings on both Facebook and YouTube.
6. If you must tether the internet connection on your npower device to your laptop, ensure that you set the connection as a metered connection and password protect the wifi network.
7. Always use browsers that conserve data like opera mini and UC web browser for simple web browsing.
If you follow the steps above, you will notice a significant improvement in your data validity period.
