Technology was created to ease things. In this post, I'll write on how to transfer airtime on the four giant networks in Nigeria namely MTN, 9Mobile, Glo and Airtel; Including the various ways of activating their PINS/passwords to ease access.
HOW TO TRANSFER AIRTIME ON THE
DIFFERENT GIANT NETWORKS IN NIGERIA;
MTN, GLO, 9MOBILE & AIRTEL
MTN
MTN uses 'Share n Sell' as its means of transfer. To begin this operation you are advised to change from the default password of 0000 to your own customized password.
To change your 'share n sell' password, there
are 2 methods of doing this:
First method: Send an SMS command to
777. For example, to change your PIN to
8214, simply write a text format like this,
0000 8214 8214 and send it to 777.
Second method: Here you can type in the
following USSD format
*601*0000*8214*8214# then Send/Ok.
Note: "8214" may be your new password.
After this operation a message will be sent to you to confirm that you have successfully set your password. If you have done this before now, you can ignore and move on to transfer airtime as instructed below. You may now proceed to the next step.
After you must have completed the password set-up; You can now go on and
send the amount of airtime you want.
To do this, Assuming you want to transfer
N100 to 080*** and your password is 8214;
simply write an sms format like this; Transfer 080*** 100 8214 and send to 777.
A message will be sent to you asking you to confirm the transaction. All you do is send "YES" to 777.
You can also transfer credit using USSD like this:
*600*080000000*100*8214#. After successfully transferring the airtime credit, you will receive a message informing you that the transfer was successful.
NOTE: You can transfer a minimum of NGN50 and a maximum of NGN5,000 per transaction.
An amount of NGN10,000 can be transferred in a day.
Glo
Glo uses Me2U as its means of airtime
transfer for its subscribers. As a newbie, you
are advised to activate this service on your
line. To do this, dial
*132*00000*New Pin
*the PIN again# on your phone.
Note: It is a 5 digit pin unlike MTN that uses
four. If you don’t want to use the default Glo
Me2U PIN which is 00000, you can use any
other one of your choice. E.g, If 82146 is your
choice pin, you can dial
*132*00000*82146*82146# After this
operation you will receive a notification
asking you to confirm your new PIN. Press 1
