Ooredoo Oman’s balance transfer lets one Hala prepaid line send credit directly to another — useful for topping up a family member’s line remotely, splitting the cost of a recharge with a friend, or helping someone whose credit has run out without needing to physically hand them cash or a voucher.
Quick answer
Dial *222# and navigate to “Balance Transfer,” or use the Ooredoo Oman app under Transfer. Both send OMR directly from your balance to another Hala prepaid number.
How the transfer works
- Dial *222# and select Balance Transfer from the menu (or open the app’s Transfer section).
- Enter the recipient’s Ooredoo Oman number.
- Enter the amount in OMR you want to send.
- Confirm — both you and the recipient typically receive an SMS confirming the transfer.
What it’s actually useful for
- Helping family remotely: send credit to a parent or child’s line without needing to be physically present with cash or a scratch card.
- Splitting costs: if you’ve bought a larger recharge voucher, transfer a portion to whoever you’re sharing it with rather than handing over the physical card.
- Emergency top-up for someone else: faster than walking them through recharge methods when they need credit immediately.
The fine print
Transfers carry a small service fee and are restricted to Ooredoo Oman prepaid numbers only — you can’t send balance to Omantel or to a postpaid account. Daily or per-transaction limits apply and are confirmed live in the *222# menu, since Ooredoo periodically adjusts them.
