How to transfer balance from Docomo to Docomo mobile number

In this post, we shall share how you can transfer balance from a Docomo number to any other Docomo number. When you are running low on balance and want to make an urgent call, services like Vodafone's chhota credit, which recharges your number with a small denomination of INR 5, come quite handy. Sadly, if you are a Tata Docomo user, there is no such service. Though not as useful in a situation like this, Docomo allows you to ask any friend of yours with a Docomo connection to send you some much needed balance.
