Firstly, you can share MTN data using USSD shortcode or by using their mobile app, whichever method you prefer to use, I am going to teach you how you can transfer data to family and friends.

What changed?



The almighty MTN default USSD code *131# that we normally use for everything has been replaced with the newly introduced USSD code by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC). This is the reason why I decided to update you with the latest info on how to share data on MTN Nigeria.

The new MTN Data transfer code or data share code is *321#, this USSD code will help you share your MTN data but you must read till the end to learn how it works.
