A method, computer program product, and data processing system for transferring
mobile telephone minutes or other mobile telephone services or features from one
customer to another is disclosed. A customer dials into an interactive service
that allows the customer to specify one or more recipients and a number of minutes,
services, or features to transfer. A data processing system associated with the
customer's mobile telephone service provider effects a transfer of minutes, services,
or features from the customer's account to the recipients' accounts. In addition,
a notification that the transfer has occurred can be sent to the recipients.
