Send money to friend and family

[Samianauman]

I would like to get others thoughts about sending money (fund) to friend and family I mean let's say if my wife with Pm or friend and family if I have extra money or I would say load extra money in my account and my wife want to add addon or pay her bill if I we have a option of sending fund to friend and family then I can send funds from my available funds to her so she don't have to load funds from cc or voucher just came up in my mind

@Samianauman, your benevolence is fantastic to see.  However, I don't think there is a place for Public Mobile to operate like a fanancial institution to support the movement of funds from account to account.  Look at other carriers, do they have a similar account feature?  Unfortunately, I can see the not for us designation for this suggestion.

There's is another carrier who offer this feature freedom mobile that's y I thought of it when I was with freedom mobile I used to move fund for my wife and few friends who was with freedom as well

I cant say i've seen something like this. The only thing close to this that I saw is a refer a friend promo where someone gets $x off a bill for certian bills or one bill, ect. 

[Samianauman]

Only reason I post it cuz I was kinda impress by the feature when I was with freedom sometime when wife need a extra money to top up her account or few friend low on cash I used to send them fund which is more like freedom top up money to them

It would be a nice feature to have. I do see so many technical issues that could happen though, given the current system's capabilities and limitations.

I don't see this functioning within the Public Mobile Business model.  Unless you pay by vouchers or add money at monthly stages you won't have available funds and if you are doing that just add the funds or voucher to the phone number that needs it. 

[xCameron94x]

 could you not just buy them a voucher? isn't that esseintaly the same thing?. I've never bought a voucher before. I'm assuming there's a code on the back that you enter in self-serve?

[WearySky]

Yeah, I don't see this fitting into PM's business model, to be honest.

I agree with @xCameron94x: if you want to top up your friend's or family's PM accounts, buy them a voucher.  This seems like needless complexity to me.

Even better, use one of the great deals on gift cards I read about on here to save yourself some money, and let the family member use the gift card to buy the voucher themself.  A win-win all around.
