You Cheapskate! (But Kind Of) - How to Gift Data on MTN Like a Boss
Let's face it, we all have that one friend. The one whose phone resembles a petrified potato more than a high-tech device. They're constantly sending those dreaded "SOS! Send Data" texts, leaving you with the internal struggle of hero complex vs. wanting to throw your phone into a vat of melted cheese.
But fear not, fellow philanthropist (or sucker, depending on how you see it)! MTN has a solution that allows you to be the data-giving angel your friend desperately needs, without resorting to selling your firstborn (though, if data prices keep rising...).
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.

- Become a Dialing Dynamo:
- Whip out your phone and channel your inner James Bond. Dial the oh-so-secret code: *321#
- A dazzling menu of options will appear. Navigate with the finesse of a seasoned gamer (or just keep hitting "next" until you find the data gifting section).
- Prepare to be amazed! You'll be able to choose between "Gift" and "Share from SME." Gift is your best bet here, because let's be honest, who even knows what SME means?
- Embrace the Power of Texting:
- Feeling lazy? No problem! Just whip out your phone and craft a text that would make Shakespeare weep. Here's the format: "Transfer <friend's phone number> <data amount>" and send it to the ever-reliable 312. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Important Note: Before you go on a data-gifting rampage, remember there are limits. You can only be a hero so many times a day. The maximum amount of data you can transfer in a day is a respectable 5GB.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
Pro Tips for the Discerning Data Donor:
- Think strategically. Maybe your friend only needs a little data boost to get through the workday. Don't go overboard and accidentally turn them into a data hoarder.
- Use it as leverage. "Need data? Sure, but only if you finally tell me what that weird humming sound coming from your room is..." Just a suggestion.
- Be prepared for the inevitable. Your friend might become strangely attached to your newfound generosity. Brace yourself for a barrage of "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any spare data lying around, would you?" texts.
So there you have it! Now you can be the data-gifting legend you were always meant to be. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and potentially a lighter wallet). But hey, at least your friend can finally stop sending you those carrier pigeon messages.
