What is Data sharing?
Now let’s zoom this into a classroom. Data sharing is the ability to share your mobile data subscription with your friends. In this case, you have to add your friend’s number to your list of data beneficiaries. So anytime you subscribed or purchase data, your friend will be tapping from it.
It’s just like sharing your data connection through a hotspot with your friends. The little downside of this is that your friend or the beneficiary may finish your monthly subscription in no time if he’s a heavy internet user.
