Sharing is Caring, But You Need a PIN for That: A Guide to MTN Share and Sell (Without the Share-a-Disaster)
Let's face it, we've all been there. Your friend's phone beeps the saddest, low-battery blues, and their face looks about as bright as a flip phone in 2024. You, being the amazing chum you are, decide to share your glorious airtime wealth. But then... dread. You haven't a clue how that whole MTN Share and Sell thing works. Fear not, friend! This guide is here to turn you from a digital Scrooge McDuck into a share-worthy superhero!
First things first: The All-Important Share and Sell PIN
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Think of this PIN as your airtime vault's secret handshake. Without it, you're about as likely to transfer airtime as you are to win the lottery while wearing mismatched socks. Luckily, getting your hands on this magical code is easier than explaining to your grandma what a "meme" is.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
- The Default Dance (Not Recommended): MTN comes with a pre-set PIN, which is usually the thrilling combination of four zeros (0000). But my friend, consider this the microphone at karaoke night – best to change it up for security reasons!
- Changing Your Tune (The Recommended Way): There are two ways to snag your own personalized PIN. You can either:
- Text "YES" to 310. MTN will send you a text with the default PIN (0000 again, see above) and a gentle nudge to change it.
- Dial 321Default PINNew PINNew PIN#. Don't forget to replace "Default PIN" with your current code (most likely 0000) and "New PIN" with your chosen secret weapon (something you'll remember, but not too obvious like your birthday).
Now that you have the PIN, Let the Sharing Spree Begin!
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Alright, vault unlocked, PIN in hand, it's time to be the hero your friend desperately needs! Here's the lowdown on sending airtime:
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.

- Text Power: Whip out your phone's messaging app and craft a new message. In the body of the text, type "Transfer" (all caps matter, folks!), followed by the lucky recipient's phone number, the amount of airtime you want to share (be generous, you!), and finally, your top-secret PIN. So, for example, to send your bestie 500 naira, you'd text: Transfer 08031234567 500 YourAwesomePIN
- Dial-a-Share: Feeling a bit old-school? No worries! Just dial 777 followed by the recipient's number, the amount you want to transfer, and your PIN. Separate each piece of info with an asterisk (). For instance, to share 200 naira with your mom, dial 7770805789012200*YourAwesomePIN#
Bonus Tip: Double Check Before You Wreck!
Sharing is awesome, but accidentally sending your airtime to your ex might lead to some awkward conversations (and a serious case of buyer's remorse). Before hitting send, take a deep breath and make sure all the details are correct.
There you have it! You've unlocked the mysteries of MTN Share and Sell, and are now equipped to be the hero of low-battery meltdowns. Go forth and share your airtime wisdom (and maybe some spare change) with the world! Just remember, with great sharing power comes great responsibility...use it wisely, and happy sharing!
