Sharing a Data Allowance

[Anonymous]

Good evening,

I have a 'lead device' with a 30GB per month data allowance.

What is the cheapest (ideally free) SIM card I can use to add a dongle to my pool of sharing devices?

For example, could I use the 'Classic PAYG' SIM in a dongle so I could browse online without having to pay anything extra each month?

Thanks,

Colin

Thank you; I did however already read that page.

I do not want to pay for any further data allowance.

Maybe contact customer service to go through your options

Thanks.

I have already had a twenty-plus minute 'live chat' and after being connected to four different agents, they were unable (or unwilling) to answer my question.

I took on a £35 per month tariff with a 30GB data allowance, because I was told I would be able to share this 30GB allowance amongst several devices.

My secondary provider is THREE and I have a rolling contract (no need to ever top-up) and merely pay for any use each month.

Ideally I would like a comparable SIM from O2, which I could insert into a dongle and which would allow me access to my 30GB allowanace.

Hi @Anonymous I honestly think your best option is to go instore according to the info on Sharer tariffs

There is a special number to call ....0330 8800 908 if you want to give that a try. First thing in the morning is usually the best time.

If you have your 30gb tariff set up as a lead device you can add new sims to it at a cost of £7.50 per month for data only or £15 to share calls, texts and data.
You can't just add a free sim without paying the monthly fee.
The only free option is to tether from the device with the 30gb sim in it.
Unfortunately, no one seems to understand sharing tariffs so getting info is very difficult.
