@Vtan this is a really good idea. I would even say being able to gift other community members! So if I wanted to send you 2G of data Public would have a way to do that. 

 

That would be COMMUNITY helping others, what a great suggestion Vtan!

 

Bravos!

You cannot send someone data add-on.

1.  But you can purchase PM topup voucher and email the voucher serial number to your friends and family for them to purchase their add-on.

2.  You can send eTransfer to your friends and family for them to purchase their add-on

3.  If they trust you, they can give you their account login for your to purchase data add-on for them.

 

BTW, I manage 8 PM accounts for my family and friends.  I have their login info to maintain their accounts.  It is very convenience and they are happy.  My monthly referral rewards is a small token for my service provided to my family and friends.

@Vtan lend your phone to your wife. She will happily use your data tòo. In order to have a bucket of data to share between family members,  you need a family plan. I'm sorry to say that there are only individual plans here. Not a bad idea, just the wrong place to implement it. Stay safe.

@Vtan  What a great idea! 👏👍 Unfortunately,  currently there isn't a process or mechanism in place where a customer can gift their data allotment to let's say a first responder data pool 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒etc. Maybe Public Mobile can implement it!! 🤔

Public mobile does not offer data gifting. If You have access to their account you can log into it and purchase a data add-on. Two steps to buy an add-on. Guide below.

Or you can buy a voucher and give them the code so they can add the money to their account.

 

List of retailers on link below.

Or buy vouchers online at link recharge.com or ding.com there's a few others but I'm not familiar with them maybe other posters will add

@Vtan Hello I am sorry but there is no transfer of data between plans but you could always buy her an extra gig if you like $15 half-price right now

@Vtan  That sounds like a really nice idea but unfortunately, you cannot donate unused mins/data from your plan to other users.
