Preguntas frecuentes sobre Regalo de datos

Data gifting lets you buy data and send it to another Verizon Wireless customer as a gift.

You can send a data gift if:

• You're a Verizon Wireless customer on a shared monthly plan
• Your phone number has been in service for at least 60 days
• Your account is eligible for Carrier Billing

If you aren't eligible to send a data gift, we'll let you know when you try to send one. Learn more about what steps to take in our Troubleshooting section below.

If you have an active Verizon Wireless account with a shared data plan you can receive a data gift. If you're ineligible, we'll inform the person trying to send you a data gift that your mobile number isn't eligible.

If you receive a data gift but cancel your Verizon Wireless account or switch to a non-qualifying plan or ineligible account type, you'll forfeit your data gift(s).

Note: Data gifts aren't transferable and won't be prorated.

Redeeming your data gift is easy. For the best experience, we recommend using the Verizon Messages (Message+) app. However, you can redeem a data gift from other messaging apps and with My Verizon or the My Verizon app.

• Verizon Messages (Message+) app: In the message conversation, tap the Redeem link above the data gift.


• Other text messaging apps: You'll get a text message from Verizon with details about your data gift along with a four-digit pin code. Reply to that message with your pin code to redeem your data gift.


• My Verizon and the My Verizon app: In the Notifications menu or Data Wallet, click or tap Redeem Now next to the data gift you want to redeem.

You can redeem your data gift from the Notifications menu or Data Wallet in My Verizon or the My Verizon app.

Unredeemed data gifts don't expire. Once they've been redeemed, data gifts expire at the end of your next bill cycle. For example, if you redeem a data gift in the middle of your bill cycle, it's good for the rest of your current bill cycle through the end of your next bill cycle.

Once you redeem a data gift, it'll be added to your account for all of your lines to share. Any data gifts will be used before your regular monthly allowance. You'll have until the end of your next scheduled bill cycle to use your data gift before it expires.

Data gifts are only applicable for future data usage and can't be applied to any existing data charges or overages on your account when you redeem them.

If you receive a data gift while you already have an overage on your account, it can't be used to pay for the charge. However, data gifts are a great way to prevent future overages for your family, friends and even yourself.

Data gifts have no cash value, aren't returnable or refundable, and may not be exchanged or redeemed for cash. You can use your data gift during the billing cycle of your choice. That opportunity doesn't expire, but it's subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in the terms and conditions.

You can spend up to $100 on data gifts for each line on your account in a given bill cycle. Data gifts are charged to your Verizon Wireless bill, and normal Carrier Billing rules apply. Visit the Carrier Billing FAQs for details.
