Aircel allows Balance Transfer between mobile numbers.

Maximum is Rs.100.

One can transfer Rs.5/10/25/50/75/100.

The charges are Rs. 1/2/5/8/10/12.

Is there any other Mobile Service Provider giving this facility?

Edit: Forgot about buggy BSNL which we used some 5-6 years back. Thanks Scavenger for your post.

One more question…

Which service providers allow activation of services thru USSD codes from the balance amount remaining in the mobile no.?

I think all the night plans can be activated thru balance.

Aircel & Airtel allow 2G/3G internet services to be activated thru balance amount.

Idea seriously lacks this facility.

Had an off topic question:

I changed my no from Voda to Airtel postpaid (MNP)
Now I want to change the connection name from mine to my Company details, as only then I could get my bill reimbursed.

Airtel says that I cannot make any modifications to my account for 3 months after MNP.

Is there a workaround to this ?

Most of the service providers allow balance transfer. But nowadays it is very hard to find these instructions/process on their website.

Only deterrent is the max amount that you can transfer (usually 30 to 50), high processing charges (atleast 10%) and a daily limit of 3 to 5 transfers.

Regarding USSD codes – again most of them have USSD codes (not for all packs/services) but they do not advertise all the codes on their website. It’s like a secret service, if you call CC they will tell you the codes.

Its a generic condition for all networks, so you have to wait for 90 days to be completed….you can change the details and reimburse your bill after 90 days only….no other options

bsnl charges only 2 per 100, if i am not wrong… docomo also charge less only….

and about activating services… bsnl charges excluding service tax for activation through sms to 53733… for example, if u activate a 96 rs 3g pack only 85 gets deducted from balance, even if u topup for full talktime… sorry if others already know this https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

For Airtel the USSD code to GiftTalktime is *141#
When the Menu comes, dial 1.

Max amount is 101, transfer fees is 14
So total 115 for transferring 101 https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_evil.gif

Minimum amount 5, service charge 2
So total 7 for transferring 5 https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_evil.gif

It would have been better if mobile balance could be converted to mpay. would have used these balance for shopping and DTH recharge.
