How To Easily Share Data On Mtn Using Ussd Code
Sharing data on MTN is a convenient way to ensure your loved ones, friends, or colleagues stay connected without any hassle. Whether you’re helping someone access the internet for urgent tasks or just want to be generous, MTN’s USSD data sharing service is quick and easy to use. Here's how you can share data using MTN’s USSD codes.
Step 1: Activate Data Sharing
Before you can share data, you need to activate MTN’s data sharing service. To do this, you’ll need a default PIN, which is typically 0000. To change the PIN to something more secure, dial:
*131*2*2#
Follow the prompts to reset your PIN by entering your old PIN (0000) and then your new 4-digit PIN.
Step 2: Share Data
Once your PIN is set, you’re ready to share data. Here’s how:
- Dial *131*2*3# on your MTN line.
- Enter the recipient’s MTN phone number when prompted.
- Input the amount of data you want to share (in MB).
- Confirm the transaction by entering your PIN.
Alternatively, you can use this format directly:
- *131*2*3*[Recipient’s Number]*[Data Amount]*[PIN]#
For example:
- *131*2*3*08031234567*500*1234#
Key Notes
- Data sharing works only between MTN users.
- You can share from your active data balance, not from bonus data.
- Ensure you have enough data balance before initiating a transfer.
With these simple steps, you can easily share data on MTN and keep your loved ones connected. MTN’s data-sharing feature is a great way to show care and support in today’s digital world.
