You can also use airtel smartshare to buy a data bundle for someone else and then pay with your own airtime.
The airtel smartshare service is available to all airtel customers, regardless of tariff plan; simply make sure you have an active data plan (if you want to use the transfer service) or airtime (if you want to buy data for someone else).
It is important to note that you will not be able to transfer a data bonus.
Your main data is the only data you’re allowed to transfer.

How to Share / Transfer Data from AIRTEL to MTN Sim
The airtel smartshare service only permits data to be transferred from one airtel to another.
This implies you can only communicate, share, or transfer data from your airtel to another airtel user.
You will not be able to move data from your Airtel account to a non-Airtel network.
In other words, you can only transfer data from airtel to airtel, not from mtn, glo, or 9mobile.
So, if the person you want to transfer data to isn’t on Airtel and insists on it, show them this post for extra assurance and clarification, or you can buy them data directly from your bank account.
If the person has an airtel line, however, you can use the process below to transfer data to them from your own airtel line. Transferring data from one airtel to another is simple, straightforward, and takes very little time.
Let’s get this party started!
If this is your first time using the airtel smartshare service, you’ll be asked to create a PIN, which you’ll use to transfer, share, or gift data on the network. It will also keep unauthorized people from interfering with your data if they don’t know your PIN.

Note that you can only transfer a total of 200MB per person per day, and you can only transfer to a total of two people per day. The total amount of data you can transfer in a day to two Airtel lines is 400mb. (each 200mb)
That’s not all; did you know that you may also share your data with another airtel user using airtel smartshare?
It’s important to understand the difference between transferring and sharing data. The former, as said above, is transmitting data from your data balance to another airtel line, but the latter (sharing) entails allowing them access to your data, This essentially implies that they can use your data to access the internet on their phones.
They will continue to have internet access using your data regardless of where they are until your data expires or you restrict them.
Let’s take a quick look at how you can share data on Airtel.
