My concern with data transfer is as follows :

The limitation of Data transfer is not welcome. If i bought 10gigs Data I should be free to send to who i like.
I should be able to send it to many at once.

Eg. I must have the choice to send at least 75 % of the data.

Really looking forward to using this. I get more data on my phone contract than I need. Now I can easily use it in my home router without moving my sim.

It seems like the transferred data ( from contract sim) has a time limitation. Transferred 1GB daily for the past four days. All data expires on recipient's phones on 01/01/2019.

The expiry date doesn't change, it will be the same as the sender's expiry date.

The reason there are limits is to prevent people reselling data as a business. It happens....
Actually i was looking at that exactly.

I take out a huge contract for 100 gigs.
Then sell 1 gig at a time to customers who want it.

Well, make pricing scheme linear, it will be no reason to re-sell.

I can see fraud where staff transfer data to their personal phones. Bam then it's HR and dismissed.
