Have you noticed that *556# and its variants on the MTN network are no longer working? The same goes for the old data code *131#. Don't panic, we've got you covered with the latest and updated codes to keep you connected and in control. Stay ahead of the game with these new codes for MTN, Glo, Airtel, and 9mobile network services in Nigeria!
The Nigerian Communications Commission's recent approval of uniform Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) codes means a new era of simplicity and convenience for subscribers. No more confusion when trying to buy data bundles, check your balance, or recharge your line – all mobile operators now share the same harmonized shortcodes.
Whether you're an MTN, Glo, Airtel, or 9Mobile user, the old codes are a thing of the past. Recharging your line with *555# or *556#? Not anymore! Instead, you'll find a unified code for credit recharge and a single code for checking data balances across all networks. This exciting development ensures a seamless experience for millions of customers. Any network that doesn't embrace the change will be left behind, and unable to provide services to its users. Stay ahead of the game and take advantage of the new harmonized USSD codes that bring uniformity and ease to Nigeria's major mobile networks!
