Few More Words: If you are not able to send or transfer prepaid balance to some number, then you should check again that are you doing it the right way? And remember that you cannot transfer prepaid balance cross-provider, means you can send balance only to the same network. Due to mobile number portability, a number may have changed its service proovider, so you need to crosscheck. And mobile service providers keep changing their service numbers, so it may change during due course of time. As far as my knowledge it is working till now.
