Why Is MTN Telling People To Go And Update Their Details? by Krak(m): 11:28am On Jul 31, 2019
I have been getting messages from MTN to go and update my sim registration details or else my sim will be blocked.

Others that I know are also facing the same issue.

The annoying thing is that I just did a welcome back on that same sim card and I duly tendered my photo ID.

Apart from that, I remember doing this same thing at least twice previously.

The way some people talk on phone, it's obvious many have lost their sanity.

O.p, you are in Nigeria where the impossible happens, impossibly bad things that is.You can register ten times in Nigeria and still not get your details on file.mtn is trying to avoid NCC sanctions by making sure the details are filled away.A graduate once registered my son and then assigned the details to another person's name. It took me some effort and frustration to get my own sim back in my name.

Do you think I can go twice?


Like, go as early as 7 am, then get my number, then return to Samaru to get the affidavit done, and get back there?



Is it possible

It is very possible but i will advice you go around 8 am because if u go around 7am, u will likely be among the first or second set to register. why not go around 8 or 9am. By then people would have gather and u can write your name and go. but be sure to be back in 3 hours time. what i observe now is dat d registration is faster now unlike past weeks.
