There are three ways an Airtel subscriber can share airtime with another Airtel line and they are as follows:
Pin Code to Share Airtime on Airtel
You can transfer or share airtime on Airtel by dialing *432# to proceed with the request. For a faster airtime share transaction process, the direct code is *432*Airtel Number*Amount# (e.g. 080X XXX XXXX)*Amount# directly.
A confirmation PIN will be required at the end of the transaction process so as to fully authorize airtime sharing or transfer.
It is important to note that while using the code to transfer airtime, an Airtel subscriber will not be charged any service fee. Also, there is no restriction on the amount of airtime to be transferred or the number of times airtime can be shared daily.
How to Share Airtel Airtime Via SMS
Through text message (SMS), an Airtel customer can have access to share or transfer data to other Airtel lines. Like other mediums of airtime transfer or sharing, the transfer code 432 will still be used for a successful procedure.
To start up, open your SMS text message app and type, 2u(space)Phone number (space)Amount(space)PIN. Example: 2u 0708xxxxxxx 500 0000.
When you are done typing, confirm the details of your message and send it to 432. Await an SMS confirmation and deduction from your account balance.
