choose the option that says " link nin" first then input your nin and summit.
after you come back to the option 5 then click on the "update sim info" ,then click on "accept" to give consent with nin biodata then wait for confirmation.

You can link your MTN number with your NIN without going to their office. I did mine on my bed without going to Thier office

How will you receive OTP on the line when it has already been blocked?

Your solution is for lines that are still active.

Exactly my thought. They want to reduce communications, so as to stall coordinations among people who intend to protest.

My line got barred yesterday without a prior notice. I have been asked to go to an MTN shop to link my NIN. This is a line that is already linked.

If they do that, we shall also nt use their network again

Didn't you receive their warning before being blocked?

Now, you have to face the penalty by leaving your work/office and join crowd @ MTN office

why are you supporting this rubbish? Phone that was already linked to nin with all confirmation several times got suddenly blocked, I think MTN is conniving with the government because of the dreaded protest

the solution is going to their office. You cannot do anything with your line. The crowd at MTN offices nationwide is disturbing.

They blocked my wife SIM
Re: MTN Nigeria Is Blocking Peoples Line, Left , Right And Centre by Beremx(f): 6:19pm On Jul 28, 2024
My Glo line was blocked too. I can't stress myself going to their office for now. The crowd there is alarming. I have linked my line with my nin yet they blocked it. I sent message to Glo via Twitter and I was told to visit their office.

Then Nigerians as a United people should boycott any service provider who chooses to sabotage them.

You will always have one foolish excuse or lunatic madness to rant about. How many months if not years have you had to link your NIN when there was no queue. You expect the world to stand still for your foolishness each time you decide to exhibit your madness.
.
It is u that is actually mad.
Ozuor.

Ask the people that their lines were barred, and they will tell u they have linked their lines.

Mtn need some serious explanations to do.
BTW, how come this is only coming from mtn?

You think MTN blocked lines because of nin problem?
These blocked lines are either 3g lines or old lines.
You must upgrade your SIM by force
We are gradually entering 6g era,so it truly does not make sense if 3g line is still available.
Re: MTN Nigeria Is Blocking Peoples Line, Left , Right And Centre by MIRACULOUS123(m): 6:59pm On Jul 28, 2024
To whom it may concern, MTN didn't blocked these lines because of nin linking issue.
They only blocked old Sims and 3g sims.
Ask the user of these blocked lines,they know they are either using old sims or 3g sims.

I got to know the real reason behind the incessant blocking of sims because I'm an agent,I work for MTN,Glo and Airtel altogether.

It would have been better if these blocked lines can be upgraded at any SIM registration outlets but it's a pity that any blocked victim will need to go to their network's head office to upgrade their SIMs.

An MTN office close to me was filled to the brim on Friday. People were everywhere trying to unblock their sim card. Only God knows how it would be tomorrow. Na wa o!! MTN should create outlets to reduce the crowd. It's overwhelming

Anyone affected can try fixing this via nin.mtn.ng/

Click on "Check Your NIN Link Status"

Ensure you have a functional email to receive OTP

The above was from a colleague who works with MTN. I wasn't affected so I didn't try it out.

I hope it works
