Mobitel to Mobitel Balance Transfer: How to Share Credit Instantly
Whether you want to send emergency airtime to a friend or transfer mobile wallet funds to a family member, SLT-Mobitel provides two distinct peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer methods.
Depending on your true intent, you can either share standard mobile airtime balance via Credit Share or transfer actual digital currency using Mobitel’s Central Bank-approved mobile money platform, mCash.

Method 1: How to Transfer Prepaid Airtime (Credit Share)
If you are simply looking to send a portion of your prepaid mobile reload balance to another prepaid Mobitel subscriber, use the instant USSD method.
Plaintext
Dial *448*[Receiver's Mobile Number]*[Amount]# and press call.
Example: To send Rs. 100 to 0712755777, you will dial *448*0712755777*100#
Requirements for Airtime Sharing: To qualify as a sender, your total account lifecycle usage must equal or exceed Rs. 350. Additionally, initial startup balances or promotional recharges cannot be transferred out; only funds added via standard secondary recharges are eligible.
Method 2: How to Transfer Legal Digital Cash (mCash)
To transfer larger amounts of actual spending money, you can use the mCash platform via the SLT-Mobitel mCash App or the manual USSD menu by dialing #111#. This transfers digital money between mobile wallets, which the recipient can use to pay utilities, buy insurance, or cash out physically at any authorized retailer, Mobitel branch, or partner agent across Sri Lanka.
