If you send credit to the same person regularly — a family member, a shared household line — the My Ooredoo app saves frequent recipients, turning a multi-step USSD process into a repeat transfer in a couple of taps.
Quick answer
Dial *121# and navigate to “Balance Transfer,” or use My Ooredoo app → Services → Transfer Credit.
Why saved recipients matter
Each USSD transfer means retyping the full number correctly. The app remembers who you’ve sent to before, so repeat transfers skip straight to entering an amount — a real time-saver if this is a recurring arrangement rather than a one-off.
Restrictions
Only between Ooredoo Kuwait numbers — not to Zain or STC Kuwait. A small service fee applies, and both parties receive SMS confirmation.
Check your balance first with *555#, or see checking your Ooredoo Kuwait balance.
