No you cannot. Each SIM will have its own allowance but you can enable hotspot mode and share your data allowance with other devices.

Can I set a allowance to a new sim from one of my sims mobile data?

Hi @JamesHarris,

You won’t be able to share the data allowance in that way, but as stated, if you have one SIM card with a lot of data, you can put it inside a phone and then set up a mobile hotspot for your other phone to connect to so it uses the 1st phone’s data allowance. This only works when connected to the hotspot though and not permanently.

Hi @JamesHarris,

You won’t be able to gift a SIM some data. Our SIM cards can only use it’s own data. Setting up a mobile hotspot from a phone is just a way to share data temporarily whilst physically near to each other, usually within a few metres.

We don’t have data only plans, however our SIM only plans come with a good amount of data for the price: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/sim-only-deals
