Today, in case of any tension or chaos in the city, the administration shuts down the first mobile internet for the purpose of maintaining normalcy and controlling rumors.  Mobile internet shutdown can happen anytime and anywhere.  At the same time, in this age of Digital India, many of our works have gone online.  In such a situation, it cannot be denied that if the internet in your mobile suddenly shuts down, there can be many kinds of problems in life.  So, here are some ways in which you can avoid the hassle of shutting down the Internet in your area.

Always carry cash: Don't always rely on UPI and always keep some cash with you.  Especially when you are traveling somewhere.  Let me tell you that the government also withholds UPI payments in times of crisis.

Scan documents: If you're traveling, keep a photo or scanned copy of all the documents in your smartphone so they can be accessed without internet.  Don't always rely on Google Drive or Photos, keep a separate backup of important personal data on your smartphone in a single folder.

Download offline maps on Google Maps: Download offline maps for your state or place of residence on Google Maps.  Offline maps can be very helpful when 4G internet is not available or the internet is down.

 Always have enough balance for calls and SMS: With combo packs offering unlimited calls, data and SMS, people forget to recharge their mobile account with a sufficient cash balance amount.  If 4G connectivity is off and you have to rely on 2G for communication, it is important to maintain adequate balance for calls and SMS.

Download and store movies and songs: In the 2G era, we happily downloaded songs, movies, games and other content to the hard drive.  Apps like Spotify, Netflix have got rid of this habit.  So download movies and songs to your phone manually.

Establish a landline at home: It is often the case that government employees turn off the mobile internet to normalize the situation, but do not disrupt broadband connections.  Getting a broadband connection to your home can be a good idea to protect yourself from the hassle of shutting down the Internet.

Using a VPN: During a partial Internet shutdown, a VPN application can help you connect to the Internet.  But VPN apps will be of no use when the internet is completely shut down.  In such a case, there is no harm in purchasing a paid and reliable VPN service.
