Where are you abroad? If you are outside EU when your allowances refresh you will be unable to gift data until you are back in UK.

Outside EU! Thus it follows.

I am currently in Crete, trying to gift data to my Son on my account and its telling me that no one on this plan is eligible for data gifting?
We have gifted before from the UK?
Does it change when you're abroad in the EU??

Thanks for confirming @Jayne_Smith.
You can gift the first 100GB of your data. If you have not exceeded this I'd recommend giving us a call so our customer care team can help process the data gift for you.

You can’t gift data from outside the UK but you can receive it. I had the same issue. You will be able to do it on your return however I don’t think you are able to use gifted data outside the UK either

Not really true! You can't gift data or receive it from a country where your UK allowances are not available after your bill date occurs. Such countries are outside the EU + 5 other Roam Abroad countries. You were in Turkey which is such a country. @Jayne_Smith is in Greece, in EU, where this rule does not apply.
