![Uninor Offers Cheapest 2G Data Plans [June 2013]](http://telecomtalk.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Uninor-GPRS-packs-70x70.jpg?80e5e9)
Lets Take a small break from the hyped 3G services by operators and look into news of other telecom operators. Vodafone is now making some news by launching a first of its kind Balance Transfer!
Now you can send money ( aka Currency in your Mobile) to your friends in no time!! Thanks to USSD, Everything is Made too simple.
All you need to Remember is a simple Format. Just Dial *131*Amount*FriendMobileNumber# to initiate a money transfer! And your existing balance will be instantly debited and sent to your friend! Suppose if you want to send 10 Rupees to your friend’s Number 9999999999 from your existing balance, all you need to do is dial *131*10*999999999# and wait for a confirmation pop up! Easy Isn’t it?
Here is The Response Message your Friend gets when the Transfer is successful!
Things you want to remember before initiating a Transaction
- Make Sure you enter the Valid 10 digit Mobile Number of your Friend (Cross Check Twice)
- Enter any Amount between from 5Rs(lower limit) and 30Rs (upper limit)
- You are allowed to transfer money to the same number only once in a day.
- Play safe with *131*Amount*FriendMobileNumber# , Your crazy Friend could grab your Phone and send all your money to his Number
The Above Service was tested in Karnataka Region. Let us know whether it is available in your region.

Jaspreet Singh January 5, 2013 at 8:46 pm
Vodafone give only 10 MB at Rs 4 & 80 MB at Rs 13 where as aircel gives unlimited downloading on Rs 14. Why????
MA December 23, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Balance transfer from another phone to your phone is not possible if your balance is zero.
What a service!
Deep Kumar December 23, 2012 at 11:54 am
Concentrate less on Big Boss season 6 & more on taking care of customers.
By the way what is this non sense?!,you guys cut Rs. 1.50 for 1000 free messages daily?!
You guys are increasing 50 by 50 paisa as you’re getting famous,i’m starting to hate you guys.Aircel only charges 60paise for 100free messages.If you continue the same thing,One fine day you’ll definitely see your company’s downfall as the Hutch company saw previously in India.
Jago Vodafone Jago.

Hello Vodafone I was transfer money one of the my friend cell rupees 30, they were charge 4 Rs, But Somewhere mention, foe 30 Rs 3 Rs charge, How Come?
Waseem June 4, 2012 at 11:03 pm

Amit May 30, 2012 at 4:17 pm
I just tried this balance transfer, but they charged me RS 4 for transfer of Rs 24 , but the website says rs 2 till rs 24.
http://www.vodafone.in/prepaid/plans/pages/prepaid_balance_transfer_mum.aspx?cid=mum
Have they increased the charges?? At least inform the customers.
That’s really bad will not use balance transfer.
help u May 21, 2012 at 7:30 pm
no , there is no such system..
prabhjot May 21, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Dere is any system of transfer SMS pack to another vodafone no.???

Dere is any system of transfer SMS pack to another vodafone no.???
Vibha March 30, 2012 at 9:40 am
They charged Rs. 2 for a transfer. I think it’s fine but at least they should openly let people know. In case of emergency, this is a good idea and I could use it when all the shops are closed and their website is nearly useless.
Thanks. Cheers!
kadbal March 19, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Look at these guys- how cunning are they- they dont even mention tht the transaction would be charged-typical of indian mentality of surreptious profit making.. why not advertise in bold- such transactions have a cost- then no one wud touch this kind of service.. One more thing- some one said tht 98 rs internet is poor service- i wud say atrocious-not just poor- ibought the card 2 times and no connection at all- so tks vodafone-i dont need tht
ananthram March 10, 2012 at 7:16 am
Can we transfer balance from vodafone to docomo?
SAK March 6, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Does any other company provides this option.
akhilesh ram February 23, 2012 at 10:06 pm
hi i am akhil vodafone is really a third class company it charges is very high for eaverything and services r very poor. other company having less internet charges like docomo but giving great service and vodafone charges r 98 for 1gb and services r very poor
Nirmal Kumar December 4, 2011 at 2:44 pm
The charges is not uniform across the amount transfered it starts from Rs 1 for Rs 5 and goes on …. we have enabled another short code *130# that provided the details of all the low balance service and can be used to perform the activity as well.
~Nirmal Kumar
ram October 23, 2011 at 12:32 am
please dont charge that 3 rs it really hurts , as i transfered 300 rs in 10 days and got deducted the sum of rs 30 that is sick man come on already we are payin u such a big amt every month,so kindly take off this charge of rs 3 per transfer make it free thanks.
Poonam Lalwani October 17, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Very good approach by VODAFONE. But It is false attempt by vodafone since they dint mention the charge of Re.3 on every transfer recharge. I won’t be interested to pay extra Re.3 on transferring re.5 to the other account. Atleast don’t charge the amount to the vodafone customer and keep the facility for Vodafone STD customers also. (current facility is available to only local vodafone no.s)
sana September 14, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Can any1 tel me, i did the same thng to send the balance to pakistan

i gt a call frm a fake number saying Vodafone customer care. n told me to call on dis service. unfortunately i ws nt aware of it at that time n money ws transferred to that number through my mobile. is there any method to get my balance back or to complaint against that number??? plz help.
priya August 22, 2011 at 3:55 pm
hey does this work for only local vodafone prepaid numbers or also can be transfered from local vodafone number to another state vodafone number ???
narayana August 17, 2011 at 7:48 pm
It is working good for me … I recharged my wife many times from my mobile. Hey Suraj are you typing it correct or are you transferring to vodafone mobile only ??? It should work if the answer is Yes for both.
*131*amount*number# should be the syntax .. You dont need to have * preceded to #..
Suraj July 27, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Not working. Everytime I enter *130# or to transfer balance: *131*(rupee amount)*(phone number)*#, it DOESN’T WORK.
sandeep July 2, 2011 at 1:24 pm

WTF
vijay May 25, 2011 at 6:24 pm
it’s posible for balence tranfer to other mobile network (like vodafone to Airtel,TATA Docomo, Please revert me.
Jayakrishnan May 25, 2011 at 11:38 am
When any operator introduce any offer, they should disclose everything – the hidden cost. Here, Vodofone did not disclose their charge for the balance tranfer. In business when something is hidden from the customer, it is a wrong practice (in other words “cheating”).
mohd.afroz May 18, 2011 at 5:28 pm
i am also vodafone costamer so i get help 2 u how 2 i know the others vodafone numbers balance i can know other mobiles balance on my phone

Rajat February 28, 2011 at 10:03 am
So there are actually some charges of using this service? How much will be the charges if I transfer Rs 30 ?
@vivek parashar
PD February 12, 2011 at 3:49 pm
IT is POWER to them ! It is their own money accounted in the system going from one A/c to another A/c. Also the subscribers pay tax for augmenting the account. This is totally unfair to charge or at the most allow one or two transfer for FREE in a month ! Hope the concerned will take note of this !
vivek parashar February 12, 2011 at 3:01 pm
its available in delhi, but i hate it when they write “rs. T has been deducted from your account. POWER TO YOU.”
YEAH, CHARGE ME RS. 2 AND THEN TELL ME THAT I HAVE POWER.
ajay patnaik January 31, 2011 at 12:13 am

Chary November 6, 2010 at 10:32 am
Hi Guys, This facility is already available in DOCOMO in AP Circle..
They allow us to transfer max amount of Rs.150 in a day from your account to your friends account ( both should be in buddynet scheme ) at a charge of Re1.00 per day. I done it for several times.
Vodafone is the second player to introduce this scheme.
Anyway good initiative from Vodafone
Shuvro November 6, 2010 at 7:37 am

PDNair November 4, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Simple wonderful ! But for any scheme T&C is the killer – They say Re.1 for 5. However it is not Re1. The fact remains that you actually pay Rs.1.10 paise ( The amount in you credit cost of taxes paid over and above ! But still is useful
Suvo Adhikary November 4, 2010 at 12:08 pm
Balance Transfer is not working in West Bengal or Kolkata.
Abhi November 4, 2010 at 11:41 am

Manoj Abhigyan November 4, 2010 at 7:18 am
At least a good move by Vodafone after a long time. This type of service should be launched by all the operators.
Ganesh Srinivasan November 4, 2010 at 7:18 am
It is like what happens with shops providing recharges – they transfer currency from their account
Nitin November 4, 2010 at 7:01 am
Great work by vodafone. Wanted this service from long time. Is there any service charges or operator charge for this? Also Rs.30 upper limit is slightly low. It should have been atleast 50.
riju November 4, 2010 at 6:57 am
good one
srikapardhi November 4, 2010 at 6:40 am
This is what i thought of the operators should implement and today Vodafone implemented it !
