I've realised today that my family has 5 different monthly rolling pay as you go contracts, we also pay for a separate subscription which is used to monitor my youngest online usage.

I was wondering, has anybody come a plan which allows me to purchase say, 100GB and connect everyone to the same bundle? It feels like mobile network offerings are all directd

@xmasdealhunter I think with those, you are effectively creating a new plan for each family member. I wonder if there is a way to buy one allocation and share it amongst the family, since surely there would be savings; perhaps that is why none of them offer it.

Ah I see, I think you're right! If anyone in your family has a student email address (needs to end in .school or .ac.uk) then voxi's student plans that you get through student beans are really good value for money. Or if not, their £8 a month one gets you 8GB, but it lasts ages because it includes unlimited social media usage.

If you own your phones then look at sim only

Tesco let you roll your data, so you could do 1 account with loads of data, everyone else on 1gb or something cheap, then roll data to each phone as needed

Not going to spam my referral code but recently switched family from O2 to Lebara 50Gb rolling month contracts for 65p each - uses Vodafone network so we were able to port existing numbers.

Current deal via Moneysavingexpert is £1 per month for 50Gb.

Obviously still a set of rolling contracts - don't think any provider could offer a family bundle version that would work out cheaper...

We had an EE contract in which one of us had unlimited data but could ‘gift’ chunks to the others.

Please could you link to that deal on moneysavingexpert or PM a referral code? I can't see it on there? Thank you! @FeelingG00d
