The Airtel Data Me2U also known as Data Share allows customers to transfer data from their existing data allowance to another Airtel customer. You can “share” or “transfer” from the data allowance of an already purchased data bundle to another customer.
For example, if you have purchased a 1.5GB Monthly, you can transfer up to 200MB to another customer. Fortunately, the recipient or receiver can be another customer e.g your friend, family, etc, or just your other device with an Airtel line.
It is available to all Airtel Prepaid and Postpaid customers account owners. The shared data expiry date will have the same validity as the original data.
This means that, if your friend subscribed to Airtel 1GB on 1st January, and you share some of that data – when your data expires on the 1st of February, yours (as the recipient) will also expire on that same day.
