One advantage the Omantel app has over dialling a raw USSD code for balance transfer: it shows the exact fee before you confirm, rather than after — so you know precisely what leaves your account before committing.
Quick answer
Dial *100# and navigate to “Balance Transfer,” or open the Omantel app → Transfer Credit for the same result with the fee shown upfront.
How it works
- Choose USSD (*100#) or the app
- Enter the recipient’s Omantel prepaid number
- Enter the amount in OMR
- Confirm — both parties receive an SMS
Restrictions
Transfers work between Omantel prepaid numbers only — not to postpaid accounts or Ooredoo Oman lines. A small service fee applies per transaction.
