What Is MTN Share?
MTN Share (formerly MTN Share ‘N’ Sell) is a service that allows you to transfer airtime from your MTN line to another MTN number using a short code or SMS.
You can transfer:
- Between ₦50 and ₦5,000 per transaction
- Up to ₦50,000 daily
- Only to MTN-to-MTN lines
Step 1: Change Your Default Transfer PIN
Before your first transfer, you must change the default PIN (which is 0000) to your unique 4-digit PIN.
To change your PIN:
Dial:
*600*defaultPIN*newPIN*newPIN#
Example:
*600*0000*1234*1234#
You’ll get a confirmation message once your PIN is successfully changed.
Step 2: How to Share Card (Airtime) on MTN
There are two methods to transfer airtime:
Method 1: Using USSD Code
Dial:
*600*RecipientNumber*Amount*PIN#
Example:
*600*08031234567*500*1234#
This will send ₦500 to the MTN number 08031234567 using your 4-digit PIN.
Method 2: Using SMS
Send SMS to 600 in this format:
Transfer RecipientNumber Amount PIN
