MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 2:54pm On Jan 17 |
Please I need help. My SIM card of 7 years was blocked three days ago by MTN. The reason they gave was that my line was barred for not submitting my NIN. I called their customer care number and I was asked to dial *996# and then follow the prompt to submit my NIN, which I did. Two days after submitting my NIN, I'm still unable to make calls. Please I need help. |

ikeno:Always blaming innocent Nigerians. Many Nigerians submitted their NIN years ago but it has not been verified. One of my sim I tried to submit again this week is displaying connection server error from NIMC. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Fira09: Thanks. I followed all the instructions, but MTN is just deducting ₦20 from my airtime multiple times without remorse and they still did not send me the VNIN. I tried the NIMC app still no progress because they app isn't giving me the OTP. 2 Likes |

Peacfulmindset:I faced sane issue until I visited one of the numerous yellow shops to re-register and I got a success msg of my nin being linked. |
Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 4:18pm On Jan 17 |
Hopez456: How much did you use to re-register? The MTN agent asked me to bring 1k but the money in my hand wasn't up to 1k. |

Peacfulmindset:Did you use the USSD provided by MTN to create the VNIN? |
Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Hopez456(m): 4:42pm On Jan 17 |
Peacfulmindset:I paid no dime. Go elsewhere. There are a lot of them in the cities. |

I am experiencing the same. I will make out time from a very tight schedule to go to an MTN office close to me .I am just disappointed that MTN didn't give me some warning that my NIN have not been properly linked and I should go do the needful. Mad people and crazy system everywhere in the country ! |

For this life try get money nd connection. This same thing happened to my mom about 3days ago, she only had to call someone from their office in the state she resides, they have to send someone to the house to do the nin-sim linkage for her.. Maybe op should try nd visit their office or an outlet. |
Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 5:55pm On Jan 17 |
Fira09: Yes, I used the USSD. MTN removes ₦20 after every attempt I make in getting the VNIN, without giving me the VNIN at the end. |
Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 5:57pm On Jan 17 |
LeeSmart: I visited an outlet today. The man charged me 1k, so I decided to come home and try solving the problem myself. |

Peacfulmindset:You need to go to an MTN outlet. The USSD or app submission won't work. The outlet will capture your thumb print and facial id for facial recognition. It is the new technology. |

You've to go their office for reregistration. |

Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 7:23pm On Jan 19 |
thesolutions: Alright, thanks. I did successfully link my NIN to my SIM but I'm still unable to make calls. Going to an MTN outlet is the next move. |
Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 7:25pm On Jan 19 |
janda1: I did as I was asked to and MTN sent a confirmation message that my SIM has been linked to my NIN, but I'm still unable to make calls. My SIM is a 3G SIM, and they've been telling me to upgrade my SIM. I think MTN is trying to forcefully make me upgrade my SIM card. |

Re: MTN Blocked My SIM Card Of 7 Years by Peacfulmindset: 10:10am On Feb 14 |
Update I've been able to solve the problem. My line was temporarily banned and I couldn't even use it to check airtime balance, call, text or any other thing. I had to go to an MTN office with my NIN, and I was reconnected back. The reason why I was unable to connect my NIN by myself was because the SIM card wasn't registered by me initially, so the picture on my NIN and the picture on MTN database was different. Everything has been sorted out now, and I can now use my SIM card. |
