Most of the telecommunication service providers allow users to buy data in bulk and be able to share to others in smaller units. I will be using mtn here. https://mtnbusiness.com.ng/sme/datashare/faqs


There are two ways which you can sell airtime or data.
1. Manually dialing the code or using network app
2. Automating the process using www.simhostng.com

I will be focusing on automated method because it less stressful with fast delivery.

To purchase an MTN SME Data Share bundle, all you need to do is:
Send 460 to 131 or dial *460# to migrate to the SME Plus Service Class
Contact your network provider for your pin
You can share data with any beneficiary by sending SMS below to 131 as shown in the table below (or dial *461# and follow the prompt):

SMEB <PhoneNumber> 500 <PIN> to 131

SMEC <PhoneNumber> 1000 <PIN> to 131

SMED <PhoneNumber> 2000 <PIN> to 131

SMEE <PhoneNumber> 5000 <PIN> to 131
