Although mobile service providers offer tempting post-paid plans, many of us prefer to have a pre-paid connection so that you pay only for what you use instead of getting a shock when the monthly bill rolls out. But sometimes it so happens that we forget to recharge our phones, or are in a situation where there’s no internet access, or we simply run out of money. All this when we really need to get in touch with people or use the www. What do you do then?
Well, if you’re an Airtel user and have friends or family who are also Airtel users, you’re in luck. Why you ask? Because you can now lend or borrow talk time and even data whenever required. This is possible with Airtel’s relatively new feature that allows you to transfer balance between two Airtel accounts.
How does this work?
Think of it as transferring funds to someone’s bank account. Just like when you send money to another person’s account and that amount is deducted from your bank account, the same way, when you request to share your balance (talktime), that amount gets deducted from the sender’s Airtel account and is credited to the receiver’s Airtel account. And Voila! There’s no need to recharge separately.
The Prerequisites:
In order to avail the balance-transfer service on your phone, you must ensure that the following conditions are met:
Both, the sender as well as the receiver of the balance (talktime or data) need to be subscribed to the same mobile service provider, i.e. Airtel. You have to have a pre-paid connection. This will not work on a post-paid number. You must know the relevant USSD code for this service in order to process it.
