Handling multiple SIMs from a single company/family account
By: ivida | 14-02-2010 02:10
This idea was brought up by several posts earlier (see 1,2) and Vincent has even posted
a partial solution, but apparently it hasn't yet made it to this page.
The proposal is to have the possiblity to handle more than one SIMs from
a single account. This would be useful for companies, families, couples
and any other groups, if handling of the SIMs' administration/finances
is performed by one person.
The point is not necessarily to have only a single account for the SIMs,
i understand that at the moment the system requires the creation of an
account for each SIM.
The point is much more to have the possibility to define a master account from
which you can access relevant settings of all the SIMs within the associated pool.
Not only to top-up (this is not a problem as you can top-up any number through
the giffgaff pages) but also to activate/inactivate auto top-up or set speding limits, etc.
Another important aspect of a company/family pool os SIMs would be to handle the
credits more flexibly: to have the possibility to transfer credit from one SIM to
the other. Tthere was some discussion about implementing some form of credit
transfere on giffgaff (1,2) - in my opinion company/family SIM pools would be a good
argument to push such a feature and also an excellent context for the development
and testing.

Great idea but I'd recommend not only the defaults suggested but expanding somewhat.
1. Monitoring and applying limits, e.g. define data/minutes and texts so it can be moved around. Just having monitoring is no good if you cannot adjust usage.
2. Create master/slave access account logins so parents can add credit and children cannot tamper with payment settings, etc

A great idea for families! keeping an eye on spending and transferring unused data, result, definitely the way forward as other providers already offer this
