How to transfer airtime on MTN 

If you want to know about any of the following: how to transfer airtime on MTN, how to share airtime on MTN, MTN transfer code to send airtime to others, and how to send airtime from MTN to MTN, I will break down everything here.

Let’s ride on.

This service is available to all MTN subscribers, but there are a few things to note when you’re trying to transfer airtime on MTN.

  • The amount stated in Naira only can be transferred. You cannot transfer kobo, that is to say, your transfer amount should look like 50.00 Naira and not 50.29 Naira. 
  • It is possible to send from #50 to #5,000 per transaction. You can transfer airtime to just one MTN phone number or several MTN phone numbers daily. 
  • You can transfer MTN airtime as many times as you want in a day. But the total daily transfer can not exceed #100,000.
  • Postpaid users can only transfer airtime when their balance is positive, not negative. That is, as a postpaid user, you can’t transfer credit when let’s say you have -N500.00. 
  • Prepaid customers can not transfer an airtime amount higher than the balance on their line. 
  • You must change the default PIN (0000) to another one of your choices before you can use this service.

This is how you can quickly change the PIN.

How to change MTN credit Transfer PIN

This is the same as asking how to activate MTN transfer code. 

And there are two methods of changing the MTN default password or activating the MTN transfer code.

  • You can change your MTN transfer PIN via SMS (Message). If you’re using this method, Text ‘Default PIN’ ‘New PIN’ New PIN’ to 556. For instance, if you want to change the Default PIN and use 5678 as your new PIN text ‘0000 1234 1234’ to 777.
  • You can change your MTN transfer PIN by dialing the USSD code dial *600*Default PIN*New PIN* and sending this message. For example, dial *600*0000*5678*5678# and then send. In my opinion, this is faster than the first method.

Anyway, that’s how to change your MTN transfer default PIN.

Now that you are aware of the important stuff, let’s talk about how to transfer airtime on MTN.

How to share airtime on MTN 

Just like changing the PIN above, there are two methods of transferring airtime on MTN.

  • Using SMS and;
  • Using MTN USSD code 

Let’s look at each method in detail.

How to send airtime from MTN to MTN via SMS

It is very easy to do, just follow the process below.

  • Write an SMS containing the word ‘Transfer’ followed by the phone number of the person you want to transfer the airtime to, follow this with the amount you wish to send, then your PIN, and then send this SMS to the number 777. 
  • Let’s say for instance you want to send 1,000 Naira to MTN phone 07030894328, and your PIN is 6789. Your message will look like: Transfer 07030894328 1000 6789. Now, just send this message to number 777. 

Once the text message is sent, you will receive a network provider’s confirmation request. The word ‘YES’ must be sent to the same number 777 to complete this operation. 

That is how to share airtime on MTN using the SMS method.

Now let’s look at the second way.

How to send airtime from MTN to MTN Using MTN USSD Code

This method involves using the MTN transfer code. And we have talked about how to activate MTN transfer code above.

So to transfer MTN airtime using the transfer code, all you have to do is…

  • Dial *777* followed by the recipient’s phone number, the amount you want to send, your PIN, and the # symbol.
  • Using the same details from the example above, the code you are going to dial will look like this, *777*07030894328*6789*6789#. Click the send button and voilà, a message will pop up to let you know the status of your airtime transfer.

That’s how to transfer airtime on MTN.

But what if you want to reset your MTN transfer PIN?

How to reset MTN transfer PIN

If the reason why you want to reset the PIN is that you have forgotten the present MTN transfer PIN.

In this case, you may not be able to change this PIN on your own. You will need to speak to a customer care representative to reset the MTN transfer PIN.

However, the process is very easy; just dial MTN customer service number 180, and an agent will speak to you and put you through the process of retrieving your lost PIN code.

But if you want to reset the PIN and you still remember the current PIN you’re using for MTN airtime transfer the process is even simpler.

Just follow the same steps you followed on how to activate MTN transfer code.

  • For the SMS method, on your device, type and send your current PIN code, followed by your new PIN code typed twice, followed by # to 777. For example, if your current personal identification number is 2345 and the new PIN you want to change it to is 6789, the SMS you will send to 777 should be exactly like this – 2345 6789 6789#. 
  • To use the USSD method, you must dial *777* your current PIN* your new PIN* your new PIN#, then send the code. If your current personal identification number is 2345 and the new PIN you want to change to is 6789, your USSD code should be exactly like this- *777*2345*6789*6789#.
