Transferring call credit still remains relevant despite the other avenues available [for getting credit across to another person]. However, the transfer can only be between two customers using the same network i.e. it is on net. And while these transfers can be done by using the default PIN made available by the service provider, it is advisable to set up one’s unique PIN in order to curtail the incidences of indiscriminate transfer of one’s credit by some other persons.
Without further ado, we shall now look at the way to go about this for the different (major) networks we have in Nigeria.
Transferring MTN Call Credit
Before triggering the transfer, create a new PIN; changing the default PIN which is 0000. To do this, go to the message box and type 0000 [space] new PIN [space] new PIN and send to 777. For instance, let’s take your new PIN to be 8765; you will just type 0000 8765 8765 and then send to 777.
Now to transfer credit, type TRANSFER [space] Recipient’s number [space] amount [space] PIN and send to 777.
It should appear like this: TRANSFER 0803574XXXX 200 8765.
Optionally, you can just dial *600*0803574XXXX*8765# and send.

Now for the transfer; dial *131*Recipient’s number*Amount*PIN#. Example is : *131*0805561XXXX*200*83421# and send.
Transferring 9mobile Call Credit
