You've Got a Friend in Me (With Data!) : A Guide to Gifting Data on Airtel
Let's face it, we've all been there. Your friend's phone resembles a brick more than a smartphone because they've run out of data. Their memes are drier than a popadum in the Sahara, and don't even get me started on the struggle of video calls. Fear not, friend-in-shining-armor (or should we say data-distributor?), for I come bearing gifts – knowledge on how to get your data-deprived buddy back online with Airtel!

Calling All Data-Sharing Do-Gooders: Two Fantastic Options
Airtel, in its infinite wisdom, offers two ways to be a digital hero: Data Gifting and Data Me2U. Now, these names might sound like spells from a Harry Potter knock-off, but trust me, they're both pretty magical (especially for your friend who's about to be consumed by internet withdrawal).
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.![]()
1. Data Gifting: The "Just for You" Approach
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.![]()
Think of Data Gifting as the fancy gift basket of the data world. You pick a specific data pack, your friend gets the whole glorious shebang – all paid for by your generosity (and maybe a future favor or two?). Here's how to do the deed:
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.![]()
- *Dial 312# on your phone. – This is like the secret handshake to the world of data gifting.
- Select "Gift" or "Share Data" – Pretty straightforward, unless you're planning on splitting the data like a pizza (which isn't an option, by the way).
- Choose "Data Gifting" – Because today, you're the data sugar daddy/mommy (whichever gifting style suits you best).
- Pick a data pack fit for a king (or queen) of the internet – Airtel has options galore, so choose wisely based on your friend's internet binge-watching habits.
- Enter your friend's phone number – Don't accidentally gift data to your creepy uncle Harold. Double-check that number!
- Confirm and Pay – High five yourself for being an awesome friend!
2. Data Me2U: The Sharing is Caring Method
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.![]()
Data Me2U is more like a communal bowl of data punch. You share some of your own data allowance with your friend, a digital act of solidarity. Here's how to get the data party started:
- *Dial the same magical 312# – We're getting good at this, right?
- Follow the same prompts as before, but select "Data Me2U" – Because sharing is caring, and you're practically Mother Teresa of mobile data.
- Choose how much data to share – Don't go overboard and leave yourself stranded!
- Enter your friend's phone number again – No creepy uncle Harold incidents this time either.
- Confirm and Share – You're officially a data philanthropist!
Important Side Note: There are some limitations to keep in mind. Data Me2U has a daily limit and only works with regular data packs, so if you're gifting the data-equivalent of a seven-course internet feast, go with Data Gifting.
Now Go Forth and Spread the Data Love!
With this newfound knowledge, you're equipped to be the data-sharing superhero your friend desperately needs. Remember, with great data power comes great responsibility. Use your powers wisely, and may your friend's internet woes be a thing of the past!
