Someone gifted me smoe data but I did not get a text alert. Does it take a couple of hours? Is this normal?
From personal experience you do not always get the alert right away sometimes it can take a few hours. Dispight this the gifted data should already be in there account.

You should get a notification message in your account notification section.
If your notification settings in your profile are set right, you should get either email or a text message.
Gift wont go through if don't have a data plan.

I was gifted data yesterday and it showed up immediately in my account, got the text notification right away.
It should be usable as soon as you receive it.
I gifted data last month and within a few minutes the receiver had a notification
