How to Share Data in TNT | A Step-by-Step Guide
You can easily share your mobile data with friends or family if you’re using TNT. Just make sure your SIM is registered with TNT first. This guide will show you, step by step, how to do it in a simple and clear way.
Why Share Data on TNT?
Sharing data is a helpful feature that allows you to:
- Help others: If your friend or family member runs out of data, you can share yours so they can stay connected.
- Save money: If you have extra data, you can share it rather than letting it go to waste.
- Stay connected: Sharing data makes sure you and your loved ones can access the internet when needed.
What You Need Before Sharing Data
Before you share data, here’s what you’ll need:
- Enough data: You must have enough data available to share. To check your data balance, you can dial *123# or use the TNT app.
- Active TNT SIM: Both your SIM and the SIM of the person you want to share with must be active.
- A data plan: Make sure your data plan allows sharing. Some promos don’t let you share data.
How to Shareable Data on TNT
Step 1: Check Your Data Balance
First, make sure you have enough data. You can check it in two ways:
- Dial *123#, then select Balance/Services and Check Balance.
- Open the TNT app to see how much data you have left.
Step 2: By Text Message (SMS)
One easy way to share data is by sending a text message. Follow these steps:
- Open your phone’s messaging app.
- Type this message: PASADATA followed by the person’s TNT number and the amount of data you want to share (in MB).
- Send the message to 808.
For example, if you want to send 100 MB to the number 09123456789, you will type:
code: PASADATA 9123456789 100MB
You and your friend will both get a message when the data is successfully shared.
Step 3: Use the TNT App to Share Data
Another way to share data is through the TNT app. Here’s how:
- Download the TNT app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Open the app and log in with your TNT number.
- Find the Share Data option.
- Enter your friend’s number and the amount of data you want to send.
- Confirm your choice, and both of you will get a notification.
Step 4: Shareable Data on the TNT Website
You can also share data by going to the TNT website:
- Visit smart.com.ph (TNT is part of Smart).
- Log into your account using your TNT number.
- Look for the “Share Data” section.
- Enter the person’s TNT number and the data amount.
- Confirm your transaction, and you’re done!
Things to Remember When Sharing Data
- Data limits: You can usually share between 50 MB and the maximum amount based on your data balance.
- Expiration date: Shared data will expire on the same day as your remaining data. So, if your data expires in 3 days, the shared data will expire in 3 days too.
- How often you can share: TNT might limit the number of times you can share data each day.
Solving Problems with Data Sharing
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned when sharing data. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:
1. Not Enough Data
If you don’t have enough data, the transfer won’t work. Always check your data balance before sharing.
2. Wrong Format
Make sure to type the correct message format when using the PASADATA method. Double-check the mobile number and data amount before sending the text.
3. Promo Restrictions
Some data promos don’t let you share data. Always check the terms of your promo to see if sharing is allowed.
4. Inactive SIM
Both you and the person you’re sharing with must have active TNT SIM cards. If one of the SIMs is expired or not active, the data won’t transfer.
