Go to jamb national headquarters in bwari abuja

Kweensavvy:
Okay you mean she came to reg the sim but never came back to claim it?

Skymason20:
I am a jambite too I know how it feels to stay at home for a year , but what to do ! you got to make things right and perfect next year, I have made mistakes in previous year's and lead from it and I think am poses for success this year by God's grace. your brother could follow suit because that phone number is every thing you need in process your jamb details , I am an MTN user too I can tell you MTN security is tight this day , the registration process and all. in all of this please tell your brother to focus next year and made no mistake. we lean form the past and move on. and I am sure others will lean form this. THANK YOU

donvicky2007:
Can't you edit the phone number on your brother's jamb portal?

Kweensavvy:
It's a simple matter. Simply send a text to the new owner narrating your predicament then follow up with a phone call.

You don't have to swap if he or she rejects the idea let the person simply help out with whatever codes that will be sent; more like some sort of collaboration to help your bro.
I don't know the kind of person the stranger is but if I were the one, I'd help sha.
But maybe trust issues might come up if you take my advice because the stranger might feel it's another scam format. No harm in trying.

maziarinze:
This story sound somehow Sha. Sometime around 2years ago, telecoms companies operating in Nigeria did instruct all its subscribers to come for sim update or risk being blocked, in which you would be credited a sum after doing it afterwards. Does it mean it wasn't carried out in your mum's state of residence abi she voluntarily didn't go for the update.

I use MTN line and I remember the queue I was in all through that morning.

humility101:
Oga, I'm also having the same issue as the OP.

Does it mean that the line is gone forever, no solution at all?

Bills2307:
Just yesterday self. I bought sim last week for Home phone for the kids. I checked the phone book that should be almost empty and I was seeing abubukar, awon abobi etc.
I had to ask if the kids are saving things radomly in the phone only to be called this morning by Mrs. Angela that she’s in Ikorodu where am I? Prolly it was someone’s sim dey sold to me

It’s tiring. I hope you find answers soon

Denique:
Call the line and explain things to the new user. He/she just needs to forward the details he gets from JAMB to you

alamin0506:
Good morning bro
Sorry for all that, am actually a staff of MTN. It so sad that the line cannot be retrieve as the line is not registered with her details.

Pofgrace:

panco:
he is looking for elders advice and you talk like one of them, well done.

Folzye:
The best thing to do is contact IT support at JAMB.. you should have the access to update your profile by using a Sim or number that you have access to.

Agathabishen:
Go to any business centre in Kaduna tell them you want to do change of course they will log into his jamb profile using his email address and password, initiate the rrr payment and give him to pay or pay for him, then give him the payment receipt to go to CBT center and change.

bosunolu:
There is a page in JAMB where you can report personal issues that you may have. You will need your registration number and other details. Just explain your problem, JAMB will get you a way out. There is always a way out of every problem. You only need to discover it.

BlueOrange:
There's a way to go about it but you seem to be too confused to think about it. Do I have your personal attention?

kazeeyoung:
I encounter same issue with Airtel last week when they sent me message to go and update my sim to 4G, on getting there the name on the system is different, they just re-register me afresh. May be because yours is sim lost and is MTN?

strangest:
look for the email of those guys controlling the IT part of JAMB database, send them a mail explaining everything and ask that the information be forwarded to your email


try to reach them through

support.jamb.gov.ng

youngdabold19:
The only option here is to wait till next year because sincerely you can't swap that sim..If you push your luck too much,you can be arrested and sued for impersonation and sim theft.It is only the picture on their database that can be used to swap the sim.Shikena.

I also felt nearly the same thing,mine was my date of birth but luckily enough I got it swapped.

fitinwell:
You can use,..the option to access jamb profile page either phone number or email address...provided during your registration..

Or you visit Jamb office in your region.

You face this challenge of welcome back pack.. because you are not a street boy..

With #500 that will be fix and forgotten..

Affidavit and the rest are long process...

Any Agent should be able to fix this..

Goodluck to you Jonathan

Go to the nearest Jamb Cbt centre, they don't even need your phone number for change of course.
They will change your course/institution when you pay #3.5k, which is #2.5k for remita payment, then 1k for miscellaneous.
You only send a code when registering at the initial stage.
All they will ask is your Jamb Regular No. and the preferred course you are changing to.
I sure say you never reach the Jamb Cbt Centre sef.

joshjc:
Something is wrong with our network providers, the SIM my sister has been using for over thirteen years,was stolen with phone, when she went for the retrieval,they told her that the picture used in registering the SIM is different from her, the same SIM she has retrieved several times.

ibuildstuff:
Go to jamb office and explain to them, this problem can only be solved by jamb officials, I don't think mtn can do anything at this point.

If u tried everything and it doesn't work then am sorry ur bro has to stay at home one more yr.

mhikkyboi:
How wish u dy waff town ifor carry you go mtn office them go work am out for you with snall change for ur pocket

Sirmwill:
Very sad

Very sad
Very sad

I won't say further

But if a miracle happens,please come back here to thank God because it will be a very rare one...

IamGoke:
If he wants to change his course and institution, why don't you log in his JAMB CAPS for Correction of Data.

I think with that, you don't need phone number just your email and password to login and do your correction by paying with your ATM card. It is something you can even do on phone sef....

KingsArome:
Before they do reply mails, but now they don't anymore. But you can still give it an attempt by login to his jamb profile and complain or let him go to the nearest cbt center and tell them he wants to make a complaint.

While making complaint don't forget to provide the number you want them to change too.

thanks a lot Sir, i have done that on friday and they said they will reply via his mail,while i will go to the CBT centet later with him.I appreciate sir

Bolakumi:
you can as well check the email your brother use in registering for his Jamb...His profile code will be on the mail...he can check it from there.

ibnsiraj:
There are people doing sim business people that do the welcome back like this. Visit any local mtn agent selling sim card at your environment. Definitely u will meet one that will do it for you. Thus they charge at the rate of 500 or 1000.
Thank me later

SKhanmi:
Saw a scenario like yours, only it was Airtel. And the Airtel officials told the individual to re-register the sim anew with an affidavit of course. Shouldn't have been a hard case as long as one can provide evidence of using the sim frequently but I guess because the sim was stolen is why they are giving you guys a hard time.

Why not try and meet with the manager at the MTN office & explain things, maybe they could suggest a solution.

If that doesn't work out, try the jamb office again, At least a valid email was used. Explain rigorously.

If it's all futile, tell your bro, it's not the end, just not his turn yet. He should prepare for next year. With no mistakes this time.
