What is the Vodacom data transfer code? It’s a question that a lot of Vodacom South Africa customers have been asking. Vodacom is the biggest network in the country. It’s followed closed by MTN in terms of users. One feature that you will find useful as a Vodacom customer is the ability to transfer mobile data to people on the same network. You can do it in a number of ways, including through the Vodacom data transfer USSD code.
Vodacom data transfer USSD code
The Vodacom data transfer code is *135#. Note that you can only use this code to share data with other Vodacom users. You cannot share with people on other networks.
How to transfer data
That is the Vodacom data transfer code. In this section, we are going to show you how you can transfer your data bundles to other users. The following are the steps that you need to take;
- Dial *135# on your phone
- Choose the Services option
- Choose Next
- Select Data Transfer
- Select Add recipient
- Add the Vodacom phone number of the person with whom you wish to share your data
- You can now send data to the added number. To do so, restart the steps from 1 and instead of adding a recipient at step 4 you need to choose the option to send data.
- You should have data in your phone. If not, you will receive a message telling you that no transfers can be made.
How many recipients can I have?
Vodacom allows you to add up to 5 numbers as recipients for data sharing. You can also replace the contacts at any time.
Once you have added someone, it will become easy for you to transfer data to that person.
Summary
In this article, we showed you the Vodacom data transfer USSD code. We noted that in order to transfer data to someone, you need to add the recipient’s number to your account. You can have up to 5 recipients at any given point in time.
Another thing that we noted is that you can only transfer data to other Vodacom users. You cannot transfer to MTN, Cell C or Telkom. We have previously answered the question “can you share MTN data with Vodacom.” It was noted that this cannot be done.
The ability to share Vodacom data comes in handy in a number of cases. Maybe you have more than enough data and you wish to share rather than seeing it expire. Or maybe those around you have need for data. The good thing is that you can easily share with them to keep them browsing.
