I'm Now on 02 Shared Data

[L_W_Ward]

So I took the plunge and moved over to a shared data tariff and I thought I would share how it happened in case anyone was wondering. Here are the details.

I currently have a iPhone 6 Plus on 20GB refresh tariff.
I also have an iPad air on a separate 3GB refresh tariff.

I called O2 and said I wanted to pay off the remaining device tariff on my iPad and then share my 20GB between the two as I wasn't using all 20GB. It was done within seconds and the entire iPad was paid off and now I'm on a £7 sim only tariff for my iPad but I can use as much of my 20GB as I want. They have carried over my 30% discount so it will be less then that.

I am paying just around a third of the airtime balance for my iPad but the bonus is I can use as much as I want. Also the lady which helped me had a sexy voice. Woop

No it was my confusion
The 15 pounds was if you shared the minutes and texts too.

Just a thought . . . .

If you have an iPhone 6 (20GB data) and an iPad, why not simply hotspot from your phone to your tablet?

Unless you (and another) are using them in separate locations?

I used to do this but I got sick of draining my battery for the hotspot when I needed it. For the sake of £7 I thought it was just easier to have it constantly connected and use data when it wants and updates.

Also I use my iPad a lot for work lectures to control my Mac and do internet based things so its easier than having my iPhone battery drain all day.

Great to hear your thoughts on this @L_W_Ward!

Has anyone else had a go at using O2 Shared Data yet?
