NCC has put a hold on sim activation for all Telcos. This means you probably wont be able to get your new sim to work. The guys upstairs (NCC) havent got a clue of the implication of their policy. Our prayer now is that the sim card and phone belonging to someone close to the NCC's bosses get stolen or lost so that they can lift the ban.

My phone was stolen too...going to MTN office is another stress on it's own.
I was asked to pay 3k express which I did and since then no network.
I paused for Airtel till I sort out with mthen fes

Emdee590:
The truth is that Simswap is not easy to come by now owing to the fact that a directive was given by NCC

Good morning fellow nairalanders. My phone got stolen two weeks ago and I have on it my MTN sim together with 9MOBIle.

Retrieving the lines has been an herculean task as i have been going to their centre for several days without any headway.

Please guys what is happening ? My sim is very vital to me especially to run accounts as I only do ussd on two of my accounts.

What's your experience like..................................... Honestly Nigeria is fast becoming something else!!!!!

I'm furious and angered ................ Just to retrieve sim is now like climbing Mount Everest

I'd be glad if this makes front page so relevant authorities can act on our plights

Abeg when you finally do the Airtel own, abeg share the experience

Please who knows how I can reach out to 9mobile customer agent directly on call

I went to a glo office somewhere in Abuja, I told them I lost my phone and needed a sim retrieval. He told me about NCC directives and all that. I waited until nobody was in sight, I squeezed into his hand $100 2 notes. when he saw it he was befuddled. What? He exclaimed, bring your sim pack. You have your most called 5 numbers and national ID card?
I handed Everything to him and disappeared like a king. Moral of the story. With money, everything works.

oladele239:
They told me ........... I have gotten all the needed requirements which include my nin and affidavit

its been come today or come tomorrow and no networks for weeks

I'm perplexed..... Those who understand , understand!

The best thing I did and still doing is avoiding getting my sim lost cuz I’m never ready to queue for NIN. I think I’m lucky to find my phone back after it fell off my pocket in a commercial bus. Maybe I’ll be here with ugly experience.

oseiwe:

9mobile sim retrieval is as easy and fast. Just your NIN and affidavit. I did mine under 30mins. No hope regarding MTN for now

somto811:
call 200, press 1 fr english then press 4 , press 4 again
Then

Listen to the msg, once its done, it will ask u to press 1 .do it and thats all

Mcslize:


Have you experienced where they point gun at you to bring out your newly bought phone with two of your Sims in it?

This one is not the phone falling off your pocket. They collect it from you with gun in a broad day light. That was my case on the 30 Dec, 2020.

I will advise you to tweet your issue directly on MTN offical handle and show your anger with your inconvience... and watch how they answer you ASAP! They usually don't like their International Public image dent on twitter.

RobbStark:



Wanted to cut my sim to fit into my new fone but the guy said it's an old sim that if he cuts it, there is 50-50 chance of me using it..
He advised that I do a sim swap.

With this now as you stated, I am going to Airtel office at Spar and I am going to try this stunt you pulled.

Thank you
