well, I guess the idea of sharing data by using the hotspot is a better idea. exchanging the sim card with another person for data does not work. 

so yes this is what I did today. so I shared my hotspot...

but I was just thinking if PM does offer the option of transferring the data to someones else account as I don't use and need data but it is in my plan.

It would be suggested then to drop down in data bucket needs. Why pay for the larger bucket if you don't use it.

There was a great idea earlier in the pandemic to be able to transfer Available Funds to a different account (although that's an old idea). A generous customer offered this for struggling fellow customers.

I did that, a friend of mine is using my sim as second (data) sim since almost beginning of covid, i don't need that much data for now and he does. If you trust the person or if you don't use that number for banking it's not a big deal. I'm on 15 plan now

I actually got tired of transferring my number so I ported it over to fongo anyways, If he gets an odd menage for me he just forward the contact and the message that's all

Who would swap sims like that? I wouldn't. Call forwarding won't forward text messages.

If you get the fongo calling app you could call forward your phone numbers to each other's phones so you could still get calls from your contacts.

amazing, this thought did not come to my mind...

thanks for the response

It is not possible transfer data between accounts within the family.  My mother is using a flip phone and her account has total of free 7GB data add-on from PM over last 13 months, 

You can swap SIM card between you and your friend for a month to use up your data add-on if you and your friend does not mind to answer each other's phone calls.

This would only work while the OP is with the friend. Both devices would have to be at the same location.

Sorry this is not possible. Public Mobile does not offer this option.

Sorry, but there is no option for this.
