But that&#8217;s when your bank app network starts messing up, and you can&#8217;t buy airtime. That&#8217;s where MTN Share comes in! With MTN Share, your friends and family can transfer airtime to you and save the day. You can also transfer airtime to your friends and family on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtn.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MTN network<\/a>\u00a0without stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Notably, MTN airtime transfer is one of the standard methods people use to give others (family and friends) airtime as a gift in Nigeria, Ghana, and other countries where MTN has its coverage. This gesture of sharing has been on for many years and enables people to not go out of airtime on their mobile devices always.<\/p>\n<p>Airtime can be likened to a car&#8217;s fuel, as fuel is the energy that powers a car. Airtime is necessary for every mobile user because it allows you to make calls when needed and make data subscriptions. As such, when you don&#8217;t have airtime on your mobile device, its functions are limited, especially in making calls, sending text messages, and sometimes browsing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_MTN_Share\"><\/span>Understanding MTN Share<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6874 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/mtn.jpg\" alt=\"MTN airtime transfer \" width=\"799\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/mtn.jpg 799w, https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/mtn-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/mtn-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 799px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 799\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MTN Share is a service from MTN that allows users to transfer airtime from their MTN SIM to another MTN SIM. MTN Share was formerly called Share \u2018N\u2019 Sell. Both new and existing MTN customers on various <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/cheapest-mtn-call-tariff-plans-2023\">tarrif call plans<\/a> can use this service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While some people can not afford to <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/step-by-step-guide-how-to-buy-cheap-airtime-on-prestmit\">buy an MTN airtime<\/a> at the moment, MTN airtime transfer helps them access airtime; MTN Share is that unique feature that enables you to transfer airtime from your to another MTN line. It is available to both new and existing MTN users, prepaid or postpaid.<\/p>\n<p>MTN airtime transfer is easy to achieve, regardless of whether you are a first-time user or have been using it repeatedly. So this MTN Share &#8216;N&#8217; Sell feature enables you to send airtime to your preferred recipient; so far, they are using an MTN line. But resetting your MTN transfer PIN from the default &#8220;0000&#8221; to your secret and preferred 4-digit PIN is essential.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_For_MTN_Airtime_Transfer\"><\/span>Requirements For MTN Airtime Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MTN airtime transfer is relatively easy to achieve, but there are requisites to initiating the process to qualify for making the transfer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Sender_And_Receiver_Must_Be_MTN_Subscribers\"><\/span>1. Sender And Receiver Must Be MTN Subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This significant factor allows you to transfer an MTN airtime or the recipient receiving the airtime. For instance, a Glo or Airtel subscriber can not use the MTN Share &#8216;N&#8217; Sell feature to transfer an MTN airtime to an MTN user. Also, it is impossible for a receiver who is not an MTN subscriber to receive the airtime. Therefore, this feature exclusively supports MTN subscribers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Active_MTN_Line\"><\/span>2. Active MTN Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is one thing to be an MTN subscriber, and it is another thing to be fully active with your MTN line to make calls, send text messages, recharge MTN airtime, and whatnot.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you hardly use your MTN Line, and this inactivity goes beyond 180 days. In that case, there is a possibility that your MTN line will be deactivated, except in some instances whereby you applied for an extension of inactivity because you want to travel for like a year or two. You will not be using the line.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, having an active MTN line is germane to using the MTN Share feature for airtime transfer. The sender and the receiver must have their lines active to qualify for the service.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Minimum_Transfer_Amount\"><\/span>3. Minimum Transfer Amount<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The minimum MTN transfer amount is NGN 50, and you can not transfer beyond NGN 5,000 in a single transaction. However, there are service charges on MTN airtime transfers, depending on the amount you want to share.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Change_Your_MTN_Share_PIN\"><\/span><b>How To Change Your MTN Share PIN<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two simple ways to change your MTN Share pin so you can start enjoying this service.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dial *321*Default PIN*New PIN*New PIN# on your MTN Sim.

You can either transfer using the <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/updated-list-of-new-ussd-codes-for-mobile-operators-in-nigeria\">USSD code<\/a> or through SMS. Both options are discussed below:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_USSD_Code\"><\/span>For USSD Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For MTN credit transfer through USSD, dial *321*Recipient\u2019s Number*Amount*PIN# on your phone and then click send\/press OK. For instance, if I<\/span>\u00a0want to transfer NGN 1,000 MTN airtime to my younger brother. His MTN number is 08034567890.<\/p>\n<p>I will dial *321*08034567890*1,000*1234#. This will initiate my airtime transfer with an NGN 1,000 MTN airtime sent to my brother while I incur a fee of NGN 10.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_SMS\"><\/span>For SMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To transfer airtime using SMS, send an SMS with Transfer, Recipient\u2019s Number, Amount and PIN to 321. For example, you can send an SMS with &#8220;Transfer 08034567890 1000 1234&#8221; to &#8220;321.&#8221; After sending this message, you&#8217;ll receive an SMS asking you to confirm if you want to make the transfer. Send an SMS containing YES to 321. You&#8217;ll get an SMS that your transfer has been completed successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Safety_And_Security_Measures_Of_MTN_Airtime_Transfer\"><\/span>What Are The Safety And Security Measures Of MTN Airtime Transfer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Keep_Your_PIN_Safe\"><\/span>1. Keep Your PIN Safe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your MTN transfer PIN, a 4-digit number, must be kept close to your heart. This means you must not divulge it to another person, regardless of the relationship. This is because airtime, in its right, is money; as such, you lose money when subjected to fraud on your airtime.<\/p>\n<p>Treat your transfer PIN the way you use your ATM PIN because nobody can afford to lose money at this time. It is safer not to save your transfer PIN on your phone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Report_Fraudulent_Transfers\"><\/span>2. Report Fraudulent Transfers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nobody is guaranteed to fall victim, but staying atop the knowledge of being proactive rather than reactive is the best way. However, you must report any suspected fraudulent transfers from your MTN line to MTN customer support to take necessary actions to prevent the total loss of your airtime, which is money.<\/p>\n<p>Endeavour to immediately contact the MTN support team to block your MTN line immediately to deactivate it from any activity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Protect_Your_SIM_Card\"><\/span>3. Protect Your SIM Card<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your MTN SIM card is your identity as an MTN subscriber, just like <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/major-difference-between-prepaid-cards-debit-cards-and-credit-cards\">credit\/debit cards<\/a> from banks. You must keep your SIM card safe when it is out of your mobile device. You can wrap it with a piece of paper and keep it far from the reach of people.<\/p>\n<p>But in the event of losing your MTN SIM card, do well to contact MTN customer care to help you block the lost Sim card while you do an &#8220;MTN Welcome Back&#8221; with a new MTN SIM card. This process is to forestall using your lost Sim card to perpetrate different kinds of fraud that might be traceable to you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_Of_MTN_Airtime_Transfer\"><\/span>Benefits Of MTN Airtime Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Convenience\"><\/span>1.
