How do I send crypto to someone by phone number?

Free transfers between Oobit users.

Written by Bernard Fisher
  1. Go to send in the app and choose the asset and amount.

  2. Enter the recipient's phone number and confirm.

The amount leaves your balance straight away. The recipient then has 3 days to accept or decline the transfer in their app.

  • Recipient isn't on Oobit yet? They have 3 days to sign up with that phone number and accept.

  • Declined or not accepted within 3 days? The money comes back to you automatically.

  • Free: there's no fee for transfers.
