So convenient and saves time. What’s more, I’m connected even while I’m on the go.” Many users would nod their head in consent at this benefit of smartphone thanks to the apps. Adding to the popularity of mobile internet is the fact that you have affordable handsets, lucrative data plans and supportive vernacular content.
