To enable data gifting, does she need to add another line on her account, or can I start a new contract myself? i.e. can anyone gift data to anyone?
What is the maximum amount you can gift in one go?
Do the person receiving the gift need to actually be out, or nearly out, of data to receive a gift?
Simply, I was under the impression that I could take out a really cheap 250mb contract, then get her to gift 100GB in one go at the start of the month - sorted.
Many thanks.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/40791123","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"justanothercid"},"datePublished":"2020-05-18T13:57:22.000Z","text":"Think they all need to be on same account as it is all linked in the app..

I had read reports that data could only be gifted in 500mb chunks, so that seems to indicate that is no longer true. From what I've read on EE, on a linked account, 100GB can be moved from an unlimited account (but only the first 100GB of that accounts data usage) to another.
Yeah we've certainly moved way more than 500mb. That's hardly worth the effort of moving "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/40791706","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"STRICKIBHOY"},"datePublished":"2020-05-18T14:51:51.000Z","text":"I have 100GB of data, I always gift the wife.

20gb a month is a light user!? I rarely use over 1gb.
Honestly she rarely uses much more than 1GB of data too. Between the work, home and family's home's she's connected to WiFi. If we go a long drive I have to turn my hotspot on and tether, thanks to a 16yr old daughter "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/43519615","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Ukguy2"},"datePublished":"2021-01-15T00:58:07.000Z","text":"just to update this thread - good news + the t&c's are being updated to reflect this.

I was just about to do the same but came across this EE data gift policy from June 2018:

Funny that I've never had a problem gifting data or been contacted. It still let's me gift as much as I can. I gifted the missus 20GB at the start of the bill, she has 9GB left.

Have they ever contacted you? it seems the terms state that if you have 2 sims the limit is 10gb and if you gift more than that for 3months they’ll contact you."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/43258842","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"yellowputty"},"datePublished":"2020-12-21T20:02:08.000Z","text":"

For what it's worth, I've been doing it for 6 months now and no contact yet. Seems unfair for them to change the terms mid way through if that was the reason for taking it out. Wonder whether perhaps that is an empty threat anyway to push people onto doing the more expensive conventional route."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/43260544","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"STRICKIBHOY"},"datePublished":"2020-12-21T22:00:51.000Z","text":"
