Transferring Data

slavicazd — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 14:40:00 GMT

Hi all,

This may be a silly question but is there a way to share data between public mobile accounts. Both me and my husband use Public mobile, I have a talk and text plan and don't use data. Thanks to the folks at public mobile I got a complimentary 1GB of data :). Is there a way for me to transfer the data to his acocunt so he can use it instead?

Not a silly question at all. Unfortunately you can't share data here. Each account has it's own features and can't be shared.

Unfortunately PM does not offer any sharing between accounts.

Just to be sure you know how it works, just because you only have a talk and text plan that doesn't mean that you are unable to use the free 1Gbq Data. I understand that you don't feel you need a Data plan but I wanted to be certain you realize that you can use it occasionally and it will last for a long time.

Yes, this 1GB data will not expire, why don't you just keep it in case you need it sometime later?

Yeah too bad we can't share data would be cool if we could though.

It would be good for customers but Public won't gain anything. Customers would buy less add-ons.
