Gigabyte wastage

Each month my phone data is renewed.

I'm given 150Gb. I ALWAYS have over 149Gb left. I've asked about transferring and giving it away to someone that needs it or has to buy it, but no, Vod_phone can't do that.

Why can't they?

In this day and age of high-tech, why not?

It makes me boil.

Your data allowances, served from backend Telco infrastructure, are subject to "thin provisioning". A concept similar to SAN/Storage Arrays and their offerings. Your mobile account is virtually supplied with 150Gb of data, but realistically you're only given a fraction of that, increasing incrementally (depending on policy and usage) until you hit your limit. In the meantime most of your data is held within a central pool by Voodoofone™, distributed across all customers in piecemeal fashion.

It's never wasted.

The only provider that gives free data allowance is O_2.

They have something called the national databank that will give customers 25Gb data free every month - which is an absplute godsend if you're down on your luck or struggling financially.

On Sky mobile, you can piggybank "spare" data and use it in future months or transfer it to another phone. However, I think it can only be transferred within a family/group account.

This is actually quite interesting and good to know!
