I ported my Etisalat line to airtel 2 years ago and up till now, no OTP. The worse part is that I don't have any dnd activated. I'm porting to mtn tomorrow.

Re: I Cant Receive OTP After Porting To Airtel by Whois(m): 4:36pm On May 28, 2020
Happened to me when I did port from Glo to Mtn. Went inside bank to complain but it wasn't fixed so I had to Re update on an ATM machine and it started working fine

Unable to get OTP sent to your mobile phone number or other text messages? It may be due to DND (do not disturb) feature activated on your line.





This is one of the disadvantages of activating DND services. To start receiving messages and OTP you have to deactivate DND services on your line

Dnd


How To Deactivate DND Services On MTN, Airtel, Glo And 9Mobile (Etisalat)[color=#006600][/color]







To deactivate DND for 9Mobile (Etisalat) - Text START to 2442

To deactivate DND for MTN - Text ALLOW to 2442

To deactivate DND for Glo - Text CANCEL to 2442

To deactivate DND for Airtel - Text ALLOW to 2442


Some persons claim that both MTN and AIRTEL networks have automatically activated the DND service without their consent but you can still confirm by texting STATUS to 2442.

If the short codes below doesn't work for you, and you still find it difficult to get OTP kindly contact your Customer Care.

I’m having this issue though. I ported to Airtel and I haven’t been able to receive OTP from social media apps and also can’t receive bank alerts. I feel like my number is still seen as the old network and not the newly ported one

I have this same issue, i port my glo line to mtn, since then I don't get otp. How can one resolve this.
Re: I Cant Receive OTP After Porting To Airtel by Dopasix: 8:00pm On Sep 29, 2021
After porting your phone expect that OTP won't work. Best way to fix it from experience 9mobile porting to MTN.

Go to nearest ATM make a withdrawal using your bank card. Then wait for SMS to alert you of your withdrawal. Once it arrived...you have fixed your porting problem.

If not goto your bank let them try whatever they can, if they day no... Then go to your bank ATM outside to try the above process over again. It worked for me as l just fixed mine now today Sept 29th 2021. Good luck porting, its easy.

this is why I'm scared of porting from 9mobile to MTN, receiving OTPs from alot of services that I activated 2-step authentication on. Has anyone actually got the solution, because from what I've read so far, it seems after your port, you're on your own.

How is the porting process even? It is seamless or stressful? How long (days or hours) does it take complete?
