  • receiving, by an application server device, application information associated with at least one user device;

    wherein the application information is associated with at least one application running on at least one user device in a network;

    storing, by the application server device, the received application information associated with the at least one user device;

    identifying, by the application server device, content information received by the at least one user device in association with the at least one application;

    receiving, by a data plan server device, data usage information from the at least one user device;

    wherein the data usage information includes a volume of data usage by the at least one user device;

    creating, by the data plan server device, data thresholds;

    receiving, by the data plan server device, the identified content information from the application server device;

    receiving, by the data plan server device, the application information from the application server device;

    matching, by the data plan server device, the received application information, the received content information, and the received data usage information of the at least one user device with usage of the at least one application;

    identifying, by the data plan server device, application data usage from the matching;

    determining, by the data plan server device, that the identified application data usage exceeds a predetermined threshold;

    sending a request, by the data plan server device, to implement an advertisement based usage plan to the application server device;

    transmitting, by the application server device, at least one advertisement to be associated with the content information to the data plan server device;

    receiving, by the data plan server device, the transmitted at least one advertisement to be associated with the content information;

    determining, by the data plan server device, one or more advertisements based on the received application information, the transmitted at least one advertisement and the identified content information; and

    allocating, by the data plan server device, additional data usage capacity and the one or more advertisements to the at least one user device for a predetermined time based on the identified content information.
