Transfer Data To Wife's Account

owyajoe — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 18:29:09 GMT

My wife and I have 4gb data each. She ran out, and I have about 2gb left. Can I transfer some of my data to her account?

No, you cannot transfer data to another account.

She can buy data add-on to get additional data (unused data will roll over).

Hi @owyajoe, unfortunately I concur with @NDesai and that is not possible.

Though it's not possible, would be nice IF PM had such a function, to be fair

First they'd need to link accounts, which is something that people have been requesting for ages (and which there doesn't seem to be any sign of yet).

Public Mobile sells individual plans. There is no data sharing option, like those expensive plans sold by Robellus. So, why is the word fair being thrown into the discussion?

Data add ons work great for that data boost and it rolls over so she can continue to use them next month

I understand it would be nice to have all the features that the Big 3 offer. Sure somethings would be nice to have but if that is what I wanted I would have stayed with them. I am really enjoying my service from PM. Each number is one account. I would really like to be able to manage a family group (still individual accounts) but under one credit card.

To the OP if you are finding you are having data left and your wife is running out what would the cost difference be by dropping your data plan and increasing hers?

I think this would be a good idea, honestly, and would be a differentiator in the prepaid market.

If this was possible I would essentially have so much data. My mom only used 1Gb over the 90 days lol

If PM considers this maybe limit it to 250-500Mb per account every 30 days

As others have mentioned it's not possible

It would be great if it would be implemented tho
