Spotify, Joox, Deezer. How its works?

[Ging3r0ne]

Hi, I just thinking how these streaming music/videos apps like Spotify, Joox, Deezer e.t.c using the internet data/quota without having to subscribe to any internet packages/plan. Can anybody explain how these apps works with the internet data/quota? How these apps send permission to use the internet. I lived in Malaysia, here each of our carrier (prepaid) does provide us a 'basic internet connection' with speed of 64kbps/32kbps (my meter just go up to 30kbps only). So, I'm just curious whether can we use/modify this apps so it can tunnel the whole device (like Psiphon apps - google) so we can use the advantage of this apps using the internet to any other apps e.g facebook, ig, e.t.c. Please help me with this.

I use Deezer. The free plan lets me stream so I need to be connected to the internet for stuff to work (be it WiFi or 3G/4G) and the paid plan allows me to download tracks to my device.

I think Spotify works in a similar way.

So yeah, these apps can work without the internet (if that's what you're asking), but you generally need to pay for the privilege.
