Batelco’s balance transfer works specifically between SimSim prepaid lines — its branded prepaid product — and the app is worth using over USSD mainly for one reason most guides skip: it keeps a running history of every transfer you’ve sent or received.
Quick answer
Dial *122# and navigate to “Balance Transfer,” or use the Batelco app → Services → Transfer.
Why the app’s history matters
USSD transfers leave no record beyond a confirmation SMS you might delete. The Batelco app logs every transfer with date, amount, and recipient — useful if you’re splitting costs regularly with the same person and want to track who owes what without digging through old texts.
Restrictions
Only works between Batelco SimSim prepaid numbers — not postpaid or other operators. A small service fee applies per transaction.
