How do I transfer all my mobile lines to the same billing account to start using the DataShare VAS?

If your mobile lines belong to the same person/ NRIC but are in different billing accounts, you may proceed to do a mobile line transfer via My Account Manager. Please visit My Services page > Select your mobile line > Select ‘Transfer service to another billing account’ to transfer your mobile line(s).

If the mobile lines are under different people/ NRICs, please visit any StarHub Shop with both account holders present (along with your NRICs) to complete the transaction.

I want to change from being a donor to a beneficiary. How can I do this?

You will need to remove all beneficiary lines associated with the relevant donor line. DataShare will be removed once all beneficiary lines have been dropped. You can then proceed to be a beneficiary and receive data from your family member.
