Sharer plans

Anonymous
Not applicable

Trying to get my head around the Sharer Plans, I'm on a refresh Tariff; am I right in saying that I can pick up a sim card and put it into, for instance, a Tablet, then add to my account and it would share my data plan at no extra cost? or do I have to pay a monthly fee for this? Advice appreciated guys.

Not free, you have to pay.
I think it's £7.50 a month for just data sharing but you need to have a lead account set up which you can only do when taking a new contract.

I think the device also needs a minimum 2gb tariff of its own as my ipad cannot share my iphone allowance both refresh devices. (but I can tether the ipad so no issue)

iPhone 11 Pro 256gb on unlimited data
iPad Pro 12.9” 2020 256gb refresh o2 family discount
Apple Watch series 4
My first mobile was in 1995 a CM-R111 from sony on Cellnet.

Thanks guys, I think o2 have missed the point, why would I pay more when its no extra charge to tether my iPad through my phone? Smiley LOL

You don't have to be in the same room to use shared data though.
ie if you have a 20gb tariff you can take a shared tariff for a second phone or tablet that someone else could use the other side of the country.
Obviously you wouldn't take a shared tariff if you only wanted to tether.
