How To Check WAEC Result Using Phone: Simple SMS Guide |
If you don’t have access to the internet or a computer, you can still check your WAEC result easily using just your mobile phone. WAEC has provided an SMS option for candidates to access their results on the go. This guide explains how to use the SMS method step-by-step.
Why Use SMS to Check WAEC Result?
The SMS method is quick, convenient, and works on all kinds of mobile phones — even feature phones. It is also ideal for candidates in areas with poor internet service.
What You Need
Before you send the SMS, make sure you have:
Your 10-digit WAEC Examination Number (e.g., 4250101234).
Examination Year (e.g., 2025).
WAEC Scratch Card or ePIN with valid PIN and Serial Number.
Enough airtime credit on your phone (SMS charges apply).
SMS Format
Send a text message in this exact format to 32327:
WAEC*ExamNumber*PIN*ExamYear
For example:
WAEC*4250101234*123456789012*2025
Ensure there are no spaces between the asterisks (*).
Use the same phone number each time if you want to retrieve your result again later.
SMS charges may vary depending on your mobile network.
What Happens Next?
After sending the SMS:
Wait a few seconds to a few minutes.
You’ll receive a reply message containing your WAEC result details — including subjects and grades.
Save the message for your records or copy it out somewhere safe.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Wrong SMS format — follow the exact format above.
Wrong exam number — double-check your number before sending.
Expired or used-up PIN — ensure your scratch card hasn’t been used more than 5 times.
Insufficient airtime — have enough credit to cover the SMS charge.
Checking your WAEC result via SMS is an excellent option if you’re offline or have no access to a computer. Just follow the format, ensure your PIN is valid, and you’ll have your result in minutes.
