To know the correct “Datasize” code you need to send, here’s an example below, when sending the data size, you need to ensure you don’t add the MB and GB, for example:
1. If you want to share 250MB with a beneficiary, the datasize code is just: 250
2. 500MB → 500
3. 750MB → 750
4. 1GB → 1000

SMESHARE 08031234567 250 1234 = Correct Format!
SMESHARE 08031234567 200 1234 = Wrong Format → Wrong format, because you can’t share data of 200MB.
