Problem sharing data on Airtel: Most people who use Airtel for internet have a problem on how to share data on Airtel; one may think this should not be a problem, but when you think of the fact that more than 10% of the people who use Airtel to access the internet are always searching for ways t share their data with their loved ones, then you’ll know how serious the problem is.

Solution to the problem: You can now share one data plan with family and friends across phones, tabs and laptops. smartSHARE is designed to allow you share data in two ways:

Me 2 U -  Sharing from an already purchased bundle. “giving out” or “sharing” from an already purchased data bundle from an “owner customer” to other customers. In this case, the given out bundle will reside in the other customer’s wallet. Only one customer can be Me2U’d at a time.

Gifting: Buying a data bundle plan from the “owner customer” to another customer; data bundles in this category includes all the bundles listed on Airtel’s list of bundle plans and Android bundles. Easy with the new SmartSHARE Service, just dial *141# to start!
