How to Unhide Number on MTN Nigeria |
If your MTN number is currently hidden (shows as “Private Number” when calling), you can unhide it by following these methods:
Method 1: Using MTN USSD Code
- Open your phone dialer.
- Dial:
#31#
- Then immediately dial the number you want to call.
For example:#31#08012345678
This will unhide your number for that specific call.
Method 2: Turn Off Caller ID from Phone Settings
On Android:
- Open the Phone app.
- Tap the 3-dot menu or Settings.
- Go to Call settings → Additional settings.
- Tap Caller ID.
- Select "Show number" or "Network default".
On iPhone:
- Go to Settings → Phone.
- Tap Show My Caller ID.
- Toggle it ON to unhide your number.
Method 3: Reset via MTN Customer Care
If you’ve tried the above and your number is still hidden, call MTN customer care:
- Dial 300 and speak with a support agent.
- Ask them to deactivate number hiding on your line.
Bonus Tip:
If someone else hid the number using *#31# permanently, you can reverse it by dialing:
##31#
This will reset caller ID settings on your MTN line.
