Over time, the general conditions of the operators’ services change. In some cases it will get better, while in others it will get worse for users. On this occasion, the service that has added a new change to its conditions is the famous Movistar shared data.
This particular service allows customers of the blue operator to freely share all the data between all the mobile lines that the same customer has. However, there is an incompatibility that we will also mention. However, this inconvenience is added to this new condition that we could not find before.
Shared data without maximum speed
Within the conditions of this particular service, we see how a particular section ‘ Service Data ‘ has been modified. And it is that, since March 21 of this year, the blue operator has changed this section for customers who currently have this option activated on their mobile lines.
In this case, within point 2 of the shared data conditions , we find the following feature that, in the past, was not: ‘ Mobile internet access at maximum speed in a pay-per-use mode is incompatible with Shared Data ‘ . What does this mean? Very simple, you will not have the luck to enjoy the maximum speed offered by your line within the pay-per-use method .
However, it must be taken into account that, since 2023, Movistar rates have unlimited data. In addition, it is clarified that, in the case of unlimited data rates, ‘ each contract determines the maximum speed data contributed to the shared bag ‘. So not all lines will have the same gigabytes at maximum speed, be it 4G or 5G.
This incompatibility is added to the one we previously found in the conditions, which reflects the following: ‘ The contribution of lines with unlimited GB will be between 15 GB and 30 GB depending on your fiber and mobile rate .’ But, we are going to see it in more detail.
Shared data with unlimited rates
Under the conditions of this service we still find that the shared data is incompatible with the unlimited data of the Movistar rates . As much as, since this year, the blue operator has decided to establish its contract mobile rates with unlimited data. If you have this particular service activated, you can only have a maximum number of mobile gigabytes.
Therefore, to the previous incompatibility of the Movistar shared data service, this option must still be added. So if you’re going to enable this free carrier feature, be aware that you won’t have unlimited data. To do this, you will have to disable this free operator tool. These are the limitations for each Movistar rate :
- miMovistar rates provide 30 GB .
- In the Fusion Total and Total Plus rates they contribute 25 GB.
- With Fusion Selección Plus with Soccer and Fusion Selección Ficción they have 15 GB.
- The Fusion Selection LaLiga or Champions rates with Bono Datos Infinito have 15 GB.
