Please allow group sharing / pooling / transfer of data allowance

[The_Observer]

If you have multiple family sims with a monthly data allowance in a group plan, some sims may run out of data while on other sims, there is remaining data.

Please allow group data allowance to be shared / transferred / pooled.

An enquiry has been made about this at least once before:

@The_Observer  Just wondering if this would require considerable tinkering with the main Smarty software to allow it. That would end up costing them and so I can see them being less than keen.

[The_Observer]

@MSF Acknowledge that my original proposal might require major modifications to core metering and billing infrastructure. If so, here is another, related suggestion that might be easier to implement: rollover of unused data from one month to the next. That could be applied to a two-month window.

@The_Observer I'm sure that most of these suggestions are good ones from the customers perspective.

I guess it will all come down to the financial wizards doing a balancing act between likely loss of profit if they bring in these ideas versus loss of customer base if they don't.

I think it is important not to lose sight of the fact that it's all about the bottom line in the end.

This should be easy enough to do.

”US Mobile” in the USA do it.
