Need to send airtime to another Airtel number? This 2025 guide shows you how to transfer credit from Airtel to Airtel using USSD code, PIN setup, and the Airtel Thanks App.
Why Transfer Airtime on Airtel?
Transferring airtime is useful when:
- A friend or family member runs out of credit
- You want to support someone remotely
- You manage multiple Airtel lines (SIMs or devices)
Luckily, Airtel Nigeria provides an easy system called Me2U Airtime Transfer.
Step 1: Default Airtel Airtime Transfer Code
USSD Format:
*432*AirtelNumber*Amount*PIN#
Example:
To send ₦200 to 08021234567 with PIN 1234:
*432*08021234567*200*1234#
You’ll receive a confirmation SMS once the transfer is successful.
Step 2: First Time? Set or Reset Your Transfer PIN
If it’s your first time or you've forgotten your PIN:
Reset/Change PIN Code:
Send "PIN 1234 1234" to 432
– Replace 1234 1234
with your old and new PIN
Or if you don’t have a PIN, set it by:
Send “PIN defaultPIN newPIN” to 432
Example:
PIN 0000 2025
(0000 is default PIN)
Your new PIN must be 4 digits only.
