How to Share Data on Airtel

You can share data on Airtel instead of calling each other. With the Data Me2U service, an Airtel customer can send some of their data to another Airtel customer. For instance, if you pay for 1.5GB per month, you can send 100MB to someone else. If you gift data, on the other hand, you can use your airtime to buy an internet bundle plan for someone else. Read on to learn how to share Airtel data:

• Dial *312#.
• Select Gifting or Me2U.
• Select Data Me2U, then follow the prompts your phone displays on the screen until you complete the process.

When you share Airtel data, you have to enter a PIN. Do not give this PIN to anyone else. Should someone not know your PIN, they will not be able to move your internet bundles from one Airtel line to another.

So, when you use Airtel’s Data Sharing/Gifting service for the first time, change the PIN that comes up to any PIN you want.
