MTN data share is a platform where you can share data Bundle with loved ones on MTN Nigeria Network. On this service, you can now share your data bundle plans with up to 5 of your friends or family members.
Basically, the idea is to allow multiple users to use one data plan, and the sponsor, you, who would want to share your data plan with others has to subscribe to any of MTN data bundle plans.
With this, you can subscribe for a mega data bundle that can serve the entire family while everyone else connects to it via the data sharing technology. You can also subscribe for a single data plan and let your other phones, tablets, internet modems or even co-workers connect to it using the MTN data share.
After purchasing any of the above plans you are now set to sharing this with up to 5 beneficiaries. You can follow the below steps to share your MTN Data bundle plan.
