Data demands are not limited to computers and phones, but other devices connected to those primary devices. What are those devices and how can they help us? How much data do they really demand? We hope to answer those questions and more here on the Ting blog as we explore Internet of Things technology.
If you’re navigating in a new city or town and want to save on data, you’ll want an app that lets you download maps for use offline. That’s why we recommend Maps.me | Android | iOS | a GPS app for Android and iPhone that’s made for offline use. Grab the app and start downloading some maps for the next time you’re navigating.
Protect your wallet and your phone this summer: avoid data shock with these summer saving tipsEvery year, we see mobile data use spike in the summer. That’s because more people are away from Wi-Fi. Most of us are out and about, at the beach or on a road trip, enjoying the warm weather. The problem is, we bring our phones with us, and are more likely to use Google Maps to navigate and stream our favorite playlists on Spotify.
The same way you wouldn’t go outside in the summer sun without sunscreen, a hat and water, there are a few simple saving tips and tricks you can take with you to protect your phone and your bill too.
It’s no secret that we talk a lot about Motorola cell phones here on the Ting blog. Over the years, we’ve been impressed time and time again at what they’re bringing to the table: smartphones that do it all at incredibly affordable price points.
Let’s take a walk down memory lane. Remember the first and second gen of Moto E4? These phones were rapidly closing the gap between what it meant to be a budget smartphone and a flagship. Fingerprint sensors, Google Assistant, long battery life and more, with a Moto you didn’t have to spend a lot to get all the latest features. Then there’s Moto X. We still get a little nostalgic when we think back to this one. Moto X was all about customization and personalization. Moto Maker let you attach different backs right onto your phone for a unique look that ranged from plastic to leather to bamboo. And then there was Moto G5 Plus. If you’re a frequent reader of the Ting blog, you know how much we love this phone. Smooth performance, solid specs and at $299, we’d never seen anything like it before.
While we find ourselves pining for the Moto X of old, we’ve got to admit, Motorola cell phones have continued to rise to the occasion, exceeding our expectations for what a smartphone should be and how you didn’t have to spend up for a superior smartphone experience.
You don’t have to spend a lot to get phones for the whole family. In fact, on Ting Mobile, the average bill for a family of four is just $79. Find out how you and your family can save with the best family plan around where you only pay for what you use.
Twitch is more than a place to watch video games. In fact, with millions of monthly viewers, Twitch is quickly becoming a place for savvy gamers to carve out cutting-edge careers for themselves as streamers. More and more, gamers are asking themselves how to make money on Twitch.
Streamers game and share commentary, host tournaments where other players can compete and add an interactive, personal aspect to watching online gaming. There’s a whole other world of streaming on Twitch called IRL (aka In Real Life) where you can live stream art, hobbies, crafts, cooking, motivational talks and more.
Streamers often partner with businesses and brands (like Ting) and use their platform as a tool in affiliate marketing. Streamers use their channels to spread the word about products and services and start raking in sponsorships for tournaments and events and even bounties on sign-ups for services.
In this post, we’ll help you become a Twitch streamer, starting with the basics of how to stream with Twitch. Then, we’ll walk you through some starting points for monetizing your stream so you can start making money on Twitch.
