How to Transfer data on Vodacom?

If you wish to transfer your data on Vodacom, there are currently three options you can choose to transfer your data. The three methods are:

1. Transfer with the help of USSD
2. Transfer with the help of Family Share 
3. Transfer with the help of the Vodacom App

Transferring data using family share can be done through the Vodacom application, which we will discuss in the next section.

Currently, we will look at how we can transfer data with the help of USSD.

How to Transfer data on Vodacom to next month?

There is no feasible way to transfer data on Vodacom to the next month. However, you can select validity extension, also called data rollover. This means if you have data remaining on your account, the validity will expire soon (say within two days).

Recharging your account with new validity will extend the previous validity, and the remaining data will be transferred to the new expiration date. In this way, a user can pass on their data to their next set of validity until and unless the bundle has not expired.
