1. A data bandwidth management method, applied to a data bandwidth management device, comprising:
obtaining one or more data bandwidth sharing configurations corresponding to one or more sharing devices;
receiving a service request of a client device connected to the data bandwidth management device; and
allocating data bandwidth of the one or more sharing devices to the client device based on the one or more data bandwidth sharing configurations in response to the service request of the client device, wherein the allocating includes configuring a virtual Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) of the data bandwidth management device with a SIM profile of a sharing device,
wherein the step of allocating the data bandwidth of the one or more sharing devices includes:
allocating data bandwidth of a sharing device to the client device based on a first data bandwidth sharing configuration of the one or more data bandwidth sharing configurations, wherein the first data bandwidth sharing configuration corresponds to the sharing device and indicates the sharing device agrees to share its data bandwidth,
wherein the sharing device is different from the client device,
wherein the step of allocating the data bandwidth of the sharing device to the client device includes:
checking if a second data bandwidth sharing configuration of the one or more data bandwidth sharing configurations indicates the client device agrees to share its data bandwidth, wherein the second data bandwidth sharing configuration corresponds to the client device; and
allocating the data bandwidth of the sharing device to the client device based on the second data bandwidth sharing configurations indicating the client device does not agree to share its data bandwidth.
