Benirose:
So after almost two weeks, I get a message from your team saying the transaction failed but the airtime wasn't deducted. Since airtime cannot disappear into thin air, I need a better explanation.

5,000 Naira airtime can't just disappear.

Hi Benirose, i wish to inform you that the issue has now been resolved.

Parpor:
Data for my 2 lines were purchased on the same day from the same sponsor,which was on 22/09/2018. This has happened twice,that's why I brought the issue here.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi Parpor, checks on your line show that the Shared SME data was exhausted 30th September 2018

Parpor:
Hello JideSM, Good day. Hope You're doing good ?
I've been using My alternative MTN line (08036973431) for browsing for more than a year now. Of lately,My SME data have been wiped competely on two (2) occasions. The first was 3gb data about 2 months ago, and the second was 2gb data about 3 weeks ago.
Please how can this be resolved ? Note that My main line (07036895320) still have about 4994mb SME data intact. Thank You

Hi Parpor, so sorry for the inconvenience. Please note the Sponsor's SME Data Share expiry date determines the Beneficiary's shared data validity. Regards

Mtn please check my data log and tell Me how I can use 1gig I bought yesterday for just one day. It's outrageous.. What did I browse...? Please I want to know because it's happening both on my line and that of my shop... It doesn't add up please

Hi sadrezi, apologies for the inconvenience. Checks on your line show that you were billed according to your data usage. However, let me share with some data management tips

How to reduce data usage on Facebook
Go to Facebook app click the Facebook menu option
• Select App settings
• Select Auto-play
• Click ‘Never Auto-play Videos’ - The reason for selecting ‘Never Auto-play Videos’ is to stop Auto-play of videos while reading through the News feeds. The longer you spend on the News feeds, the higher your data consumption as the Facebook app automatically downloads every image on the page.

How to reduce data usage on Instagram.
• Go to Instagram app
• Select Profile
• Click on Menu Option
• Select Cellular Data Use
• Select Use Less Data. The reason for selecting ‘Use Less Data’ is to reduce the quality of videos and pictures. The longer you spend on the Story feeds, the higher your data consumption as the Instagram app automatically downloads every image on the page.

How to reduce data usage on WhatsApp.
• Go to WhatsApp
• Click on the Menu button
• Select Settings
• Click on Data Usage
• Under Media auto-download select “When using mobile data”
• Un-check the boxes then click ok - The reason for un-checking the boxes is to reduce the amount of data used in downloading every file received
• Under Call Settings check the box for low data usage - The reason for un-checking the boxes is to reduce the amount of data used while making WhatsApp call/video.

How to reduce data usage on Google Play.
• Go to Google Play
• Select the Menu button
• Click on Settings
• Under General, select Auto-update apps
• Select do not auto-update apps or Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only - When you select Do not auto-update apps, no app will be updated automatically. When you select Auto-update over Wi-Fi only, apps will automatically update once connected via Wi-Fi. In the event where you share data via MiFi/Hotspot connectivity, Auto-update app over Wi-Fi only should be switched to Do not auto-update apps.

How to turn off background data.
• From Menu go to Settings
• Select Data usage/Data Traffic management
• Click on the App
• Check the Restrict background data box - This will prevent apps from running on the background when the phone is not in use. However, once background data is switched off, notifications will not drop in real time and will be pending until the user accesses the app.

Okay, I recharged this line this morning and mtn gave me N500 bonus to call and N1,500 bonus to browse. I browsed for few minutes and I realised that my N100 in the main account had been deducted.
I called 180 to complain and I was told that I browsed with the line which I replied the that I browsed with my bonus for data. I still have bonus for calling and browsing. Pls, help me return my N100.
2348165402897. Thanks

Hi, thank you for your post. Checks done show that the airtime was deducted and credited into the bonus account you received. The first recharge for the month is usually deducted in place of the Winback bonus you received. The bonus is valid for 3 months.

Good Day... I heard our mtn issues would b resolved here as fast as possible.

Soo... I've been subscribing to the MTN 5GB sme data plan for a while now. And its really annoying how u guys zap my credit wenever I turn on my data.

This is my major line.. Been using it for close to 8 years now. It would b insane to hv 2 mtn lines on one fone, one for calls nd d other for data.

If there's anyway u can stop this credit zapping plz do so immediately. I'm on d beta plan package, nd u guys zap both my bonuses and actual credit wen I've got 5GB data staring at me right in my face.
This is my number... 07036197822.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello JideSM...


I opened a Diamond yello account on my line. During the process of registering, my first name and last name was requested of me. Now I want to link my BVN to that account, my BVN bears 3 names. I was told to update my DYA details that without a third name, I won't be able to successfully link my BVN to it. What can I do?

Hi Peterjosh, you might need to provide your phone number through E-mail for checks on it.

Simply visit the MTN office with a valid ID card, SIM registration details, 6 frequently dialed numbers, year of SIM activation, N100 for the welcome back SIM and you will be required to purchase airtime to aid in the activation of the SIM.

softy:
Hi Jide,

My sim is a postpaid sim. It is always credited every month. On this same sim, there is a Prepaid Wallet which has N2900. But I am unable to make use of it

This N2900 is different from postpaid balance when check with *558#.

How can I use the credit in the Prepaid Wallet?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi Softy, you will be able to use the airtime on your main balance when you have exhausted your credit limit awarded to your line. The deductions automatically switches to the main account.

ManBeast:
Hi,

I have been trying to use share n sell service to transfer some airtime to my other MTN line but they keep telling me that Share n sell is not available for my plan.

Please what I can do.
