Hi, the *131*65# is a data bundle offer code that enables customers who have not used their lines in the last 30 - 180 days.
If you have dialed the code and it told you that you are not eligible, it means you will not be able to enjoy the offer.
o N100 for 250mb (3 days validity)
o N200 for 1GB (7 days validity)
o N1,000 for 4GB (1 month validity)
Please note that its not issue.

Hi nurez305, sorry for the inconvenience. Checks done show your line had data bonus from the data bundle you activated, data bonus from the MYMTNAPP you downloaded. The charges was made from the data bundle bonus you had first and it has expired, same with 500MB data bonus you received from the MYMTNAPP download. The reason is because, the Internet charges can only be done from one bonus before another.

Hi Jide, I have a question. How can someone change her microsim to nanosim so that it could be used in a newer phone outside Nigeria?

Essentially, how to do simswap outside Nigeria... It's possible to cut the Sim, but that's a huge risk considering that the line is finance critical... Or what's the advice for this?

I just upgraded my mtn sim to 4G and I was given 4GB to use within 7 days. The problem is that the 4G data given to me is not browsing, I currently have to subscribe for a 1 day plan before I could come online.

Note that 4G network is not yet in my area. And when are you going to roll out 4G nationwide, it is long over due.
