O2 launches data sharer plans for individuals and families

O2 has followed in the footsteps of its rival networks and today has launched data sharer plans for individuals and families in the UK. The new plans, which start at £6 per month, offer up to 8GB data which can be shared across multiple devices or between family members. The Sharer Plan and Family Sharer Plan uses a customer’s data bundle and allows them to share it either across multiple devices and smart technology or between devices owned by different members of the family.

O2 Sharer Plan allows an individual customer on a O2 Refresh plan with at least 1GB to share data across their devices; starting at £6 per month, the ability to share data is as an add-on to the existing contract with the network.

The Family Sharer Plan allows a customer to spread data across family members. The initial plan has a data allowance of between 1GB and 8GB and up to 9 additional family members can be added to the plan. Each shared phone plan costs £15 per month and comes with unlimited minutes and texts along with the shared data whilst sharing the same plan with a tablet costs from £6 per month. For families opting for at least two voice connections, O2 will give you a £25 voucher to spend at either Frankie & Benny’s or Chiquitos.

Nina Bibby, Marketing and Consumer Director at O2 UK, said:

People across the UK are increasingly tech-savvy and now own an average of 1.5 devices each. In response, we’ve created a simple and easy way for customers to manage their data usage across all their devices.

Whether you’re sharing your data allowance across devices or family members, our new Sharer plans can help you get more from your smart tech and also save money.
