I'm looking to share data with the other half as hes constantly using his up. Both accounts are on the same my o2 account and when you go to the data sharing bit of the my o2 app it says that both our devices are able to share data. But where do I go from there??? 

 

I checked the faqs from o2 and it says I need to select a number I wish to share with then click start sharing but there's no option to do that?! Help?

@Chunkeytruffle

More info in this guide https://www.o2.co.uk/sharer-plans

 

How can I get it?

To get a sharer plan, you’ll need a phone or tablet on an O2 Refresh tariff with 1GB or more of data. This will be your lead device. It doesn’t have to be on a new contract – go to My O2 or come and see us in store to share your current data allowance.

Once you’ve got your lead device, you can then add up to nine other phones, tablets or sims to share its data allowance. If you already have additional devices that you want to add to a sharer plan, you can add them as soon as they’re out of contract

I was in o2 today talking to 2 members of staff, they told me I could do it on the o2 app and that they couldn't do it from their end. And on my o2 app it just seems to be going round in circles it just takes me to the page that's says I can share data from my device and that's it ..

@Chunkeytruffle You need the devices you want to share with to be on specific sharing plans. 

You need to change their tariff to one that can share.

That means you can share data from either of them and not between them.

You’d need to call customer service on 202 to enable it on the account you want to share your data.
