Affordable data bundles for learning to code on your phone?

Hey everyone, I want to start learning some tech skills using my phone since I don't have a laptop yet. But my biggest worry is data costs. Watching YouTube tutorials and using online platforms can eat up bundles quickly. I'm on Safaricom right now but open to trying other networks if they have better deals for learning. What do you guys use for data bundles? Do you have a specific plan you go for, like the daily bundles or the weekly ones? Also, does anyone use those free learning platforms that work offline or have low data usage? I heard SoloLearn app doesn't use much data, but I'm not sure. Any tips would be helpful, especially for a complete beginner like me.

Hey, great question! For Safaricom, I usually go for the weekly bundles - like the 1GB for around 150 bob. It lasts me a week if I'm just doing light browsing and using apps like SoloLearn or even YouTube Go (which uses way less data than regular YouTube). Also, you can download tutorials on YouTube when you have WiFi at a hotspot or somewhere free, then watch them offline later. SoloLearn is a good shout, it's pretty light. Start with that and see how it goes!
