Sending Tether USDT via ethereum RPC JSON API to another Tether wallet

Question

I'm trying to send tether from one eth account with ether only to another one via rpc json api.

This is my account: https://etherscan.io/token/0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7?a=0xbe9027e5d76df40e51300a49aea6152e0c885eb1

{
"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"id":"personal_sendTransaction_1562579177",
"method":"personal_sendTransaction",
"params":[{
    "from":"0xbe9027e5d76df40e51300a49aea6152e0c885eb1",
    "to":"0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7",
    "value":"0x0",
    "data":"0xa9059cbb000000000000000000000000CfCB8f60D94827381b4BDa53f052aAFEC246D72e00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000dbba0"
  },
  "password"
 ]
}

This is the result

{"code":-32000, "message":"insufficient funds for gas * price + value"}

But I definitely have some USDT there. Also, which amount should I provide in data? in USDT or in ETH?

What could be a possible solution for this issue?

Yes, I succeed. In data should be amount in USDT and source wallet should also have enough ETH to pay the fee — Roman Battlez, Mar 30 '22 at 09:11
@RomanBattlez how did you encode source address and amount in the data field? — Alex Pavlov, Mar 17 '23 at 23:22

Wallet should have ETH on it too to pay the gas

Correct, ETH network needs gas to update it on blockchain. – JK Patel Dec 05 '20 at 06:13
