Nephew returning home with a little credit left on his Virgin mobile prepaid. Can it be transferred to aunty's phone? i e mine! If so, how? Detailed/ step-by-step info if possible, please. Many thanks. NB Only have until 11 January or all will be lost!
Even in the context of different numbers under your own name, with the same carrier, you can't transfer credit from one to the other. Each number is treated as a separate entity.
You can transfer old prepaid credit from one plan to another, and you can port an existing number and credit onto a new/replacement sim in the context of a new or existing plan.
I did this not long ago with an ancient prepaid 2G sim out of an car emergency phone - with a ridiculous amount of accumulated credit - onto a new sim with a completely different prepaid plan attached, just so I could use up that credit usefully.
Simple answer to your wish, though, is 'no'.
OK. Thanks both. I think this function was available a few years back with Optus - when I was using them - so I was hoping it would a) still be in existence & b) piggy-back in/onto Optus-network-using Virgin.
My wife and I have been with Virginmobile prepaid for 7 years and I am pretty sure this cannot be done.
