So today I would show you guys who make use of MTN network, how to share data with other MTN users.
The internet is a major part of our lives without it most people would not be able to run their lives and business comfortably also even without internet read.cash wouldn't have been in existence.
It is no new thing to Nigerians or Africans that telecommunication networks can be subscribed to for data bundles which enables you to access the internet.
So now to what I have for you guys today, sharing data on MTN with friends and family or anyone who uses MTN.
MTN has a DataShare service, which is easy and accessible to everyone. There are some data bundles, which are listed in the price list of MTN service, and you can choose one of them. You will be able to use it together with your family or from another phone. Follow the following instructions:
Dial the number *131*7#. You will meet the following options:
1. Press 1 to transfer data to friends and Family
2. Press 2 to buy data for a friend or Family member
3. Press 3 to request data from a Friend or Family
Note: In order to share the data, your monthly plan has to be minimum 250 MB. If you have a smaller amount of MB, this denies you the possibility to share data with the other people.
To be able to share data on MTN, you have to be a customer of the PayAsYouGo service or be a user of TopUp or MTNChoice.
If you are a PayAsYouGo customer, you will need to complete the following steps:
1. Dial *141*2*163# in order to buy a set of data.
2. Then, dial *141*5# if you would like to activate the MTN Data Share service. Choose the option “manage data bundles”.
3. Then press Data Share.
If you use TopUp or MTNChoice, you will have to follow these steps:
1. Activate the DataShare by calling 808 or going to the MTN office closest to your area.
2. If you called 808, you have to dial *141*5# then press 4, and then press 2.
MTN also gives you an option to share credits between two MTN accounts, you also have an option called Share and Sell, you will be asked to enter your PIN. There are a few ways to do it:
1. You can send a message to 777, with the following information: For example: <08022222222> <2000> <1111>. When you are done, you will receive a message where you will be asked to confirm your transfer, just send to 777.
2. Dial *600*Recipient’s number*amount*PIN# and then press send. For instance, it can be like *600*08022222222*2000*1111#. When you complete the transaction, you will get the confirmation about the successful completion of your operation.
3. You can also share credits by using the official MTN site, https://www.mtnonline.com/. You can do it by going to the “My contact account” section and following the instructions that you can find there.
Note: You can avoid the long procedure by using the MTN App. You can download it on Google Play-store or Apple Store.
