MTN utilizes various USSD codes to provide access to its wide range of services, rather than a single universal "service code." These codes are short, numerical sequences dialed on your mobile phone that allow you to quickly perform actions such as purchasing data or airtime, and managing international services directly from your device.
Understanding MTN USSD Service Codes
USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) codes are a crucial part of mobile network services, offering a simple and accessible way for subscribers to interact with their service provider without needing an internet connection or a smartphone app. Each code is designed to activate a specific service or provide particular information.
Essential MTN USSD Codes for Various Services
To access different MTN services, subscribers use distinct USSD codes. Below is a summary of some key MTN service codes:
| MTN Service | USSD Code |
|---|---|
| Purchasing Data | *131*1# |
| Purchasing Airtime | *904# |
| MTN OnDemand | *904# |
| Roaming/International | *131*5# |
When you dial one of these codes on your phone, you typically receive an instant menu or a direct response, guiding you through the requested service. For example, dialing *131*1# will often present options for purchasing different data bundles, while *904# can lead to airtime purchase options. These codes are designed for convenience and efficiency, allowing for quick transactions and service management.
