If you use just one, such as WhatsApp or Waze, most companies offer a special price just for that app and all usage on it doesn’t affect your balance. If you use many social apps you might prefer to take advantage of plans that are for unlimited use for a specific day or period of time, like a week or month.
Movistar offers a tool called Mi Movistar that allows clients to see their consumption habits and what is eating up their balance.
