Hi @Lazyadi 

Welcome to the o2 Community forum 

O2 do not offer data sharing

You can add a bolt on to your phone this is very useful and not too expensive for 500mb

I use this facility.  

I see this guide is still available

Hope this helps

O2 used to offer Sharer Plans, but no longer available,

However this video will show you how to share data by creating a mobile hotspot from one phone to another.

A couple of points to emphasise relating to the helpful video that @Cleoriff has shared :-

1. the sharing via hotspot does not have to be 'phone to 'phone, so it could be say 'phone to tablet.

2. the two devices do not have to be on the same network. 

3. the two devices must be in close proximity. 

I have two 'phones on different networks, one PAYG and one on a contract. When I need data on the PAYG 'phone, I will inevitably hotspot from my contract 'phone, in effect getting the data without charge.
