Share my data with my children

Hi, is there a way that I can transfer some of my monthly data to my children if they run out of theirs?

@Flicknetcher As far as I'm aware, O2 are discontinuing their sharer plans: What are sharer plans & how do they work?

Possibly someone else in the community might point you in the right direction to help, but I think the best you can do now is to get bolt-ons as and when needed.

Another option: You could try tethering if you are together and out of reach if WiFi, @Flicknetcher

I personally would not @Flicknetcher recommend tethering as anything other than an occasional or one-off "fix".

Whilst working at home during Covid, I ruined the battery in an almost new Samsung Galaxy by tethering all day, every day. Returning the 'phone to Samsung to factory-fit a new battery resulted in an eye-watering invoice and Samsung insisted on payment as, in their view, it was fair wear and tear !
