Before you know how to transfer from your MTN line to another MTN number, there are some terms and conditions that you should be aware of.
Below are some of the rules:
Only amounts in Naira can be transferred. For instance, the airtime you want to send should look like “70.00 Naira” and not “70.20 Naira”. The reason is that it doesn’t support Kobo transactions.
You can send any amount from 50 Naira to 5,000 Naira for a single transaction. In other words, you cannot send anything below 50.00 Naira.
You can send as much airtime as you want daily but it must not exceed the daily transfer limit of N100,000.
Postpaid users on the MTN network can send airtime when their postpaid account balance is positive and not negative. For example, if you are a postpaid user, you would not be able to send airtime credit if you have -N200.00 in your account.
Postpaid users cannot transfer an airtime credit that is higher than that in their account balance. For instance, if you have N200, you cannot transfer N500 to another user. The amount in your balance should be enough to cover the amount you want to send to another MTN customer.
This airtime transfer service works only when you have applied the PIN code required for the credit to be transferred. The PIN code helps to know if the sender is actually sending the airtime credit to others. In other words, it helps protect the sender’s phone line from being used to send airtime to others without the sender’s consent.
All MTN users are provided with a default PIN number, which is ‘0000’ when they register for this service. No one will be able to send credit from his line to another line without using the default PIN code. Also, if you don’t want to use the default PIN code, you can as well change it.
Here is how to transfer airtime from your MTN line to another MTN line:
Dial *321#
Select 1 (Airtime Share)
Select 1 (Transfer Airtime)
Enter the receiver’s phone number
Enter amount
Enter PIN
You should receive a confirmation and success message if the transaction is successful.
