Sharing of once airtime with other people might be popular and known to almost everybody that uses mobile phone but sharing of you internet data commonly known as MB is not that common and many phone users have been wondering on how to share their data with there friends and colleagues even with themselves for those using more than one mobile phones that will like to have internet connection on both devices. I published a post here sometime ago on how to share Etisalat data with other people and today am focusing on how to share Airtel data with other phones.


By sharing, I don't mean hotspot sharing but data transfer just as it is done with credit transfer that you are conversant with. I will be showing you both the online and offline method to share different Airtel data including the 3GB and 4GB data packs. Let's go there...

SIMPLIFIED ONLINE METHOD ON HOW TO SHARE AIRTEL 3GB AND 4GB DATA WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
1. Before you begin, u need to check your airtel data (MB) balance by dialing *123*11# . This is necessary for you to be sure you have enough data to share out with another person.
2. Having confirmed your data balance, goto airtel data sharing site by just clicking Airtel data share online
3. When you open the website, write your airtel mobile number and login with your airtel password or one time password
4. Now that you are logged in, enter the phone numbers which you want to share your airtel data pack with. The maximum numbers you will add is 4. That is, four different numbers.
5. Now you will get a success message immediately you complete the above steps.

REMEMBER Once you have added numbers you want to share your data with, the data on your phone will start been deducted based on the usage of those person(s) added to the family data sharing site.

OFFLINE METHOD ON HOW TO SHARE AIRTEL 3GB/4GB DATA WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
1. Like we did in the online method of sharing airtel 3gb/4gb data, you have to check your airtel 3gb data balance by dialing *123*11# to know the amount of data you still have before sharing.
2. Now move to create SMS from the phone you inserted your Airtel SIM card with data.
3. Send an SMS to 121 with the method below
ADD <Mobile Number to share data>
Eg:” ADD 08129830002 “and send to 121 without the quotation mark.
Means, you are added 0812980002 to your data pack sharing list.
You can add as much as 4 different airtel mobile numbers to this list but having in mind the amount of data you have on your SIM

WHAT IF YOU WANT TO DELETE ONE NUMBER FROM YOUR AIRTEL DATA PACK SHARING LIST IN OFFLINE METHOD?
Sometimes you might feel like removing one or two numbers from the list. Here is how to do it;
1.  Open your phone message and create a new SMS as below...
2. send an sms to 121 in below format
DEL <mobile number to delete from the data pack sharing list>
eg: “DEL 08129830002 “and send to 121 without quotation marks
With this, you have just deleted 08129830002 from your airtel data pack sharing list.

ADVANTAGES OF THIS AIRTEL DATA PACK SHARING

* If you have more than one Airtel lines, you can share it between them and use one subscription on two sims instead of subscribing differently on both SIM
