Now you can share your credit with friends and family or make quick money selling credit from your phone with Share ‘n’ Sell. It is free and easy to use.

Share ‘n Sell allows you to send credit from your prepaid account to another MTN customer's prepaid account using SMS or USSD. That way, you can keep your family and friends topped up and connected! In addition, transferring credit does not cost you anything!

To make sure that nobody uses your phone to transfer credit without your permission, we have added a PIN feature. Before you can transfer credit, you have to change the default PIN which is 0000.

You can change the default PIN by:


Sending a USSD command
Sending a text message to 777


With Share ‘n Sell, you can transfer different amounts of credit with a minimum amount of NGN50.00 and a maximum amount of NGN6,000.00 for each transaction. You can also transfer a total amount of NGN50,000.00 a day! So you can even decide to become a credit vendor using Share 'n Sell!!!

Please note that:

You can only transfer credit in Naira amounts and not in kobo i.e. you can transfer NGN71.00 but not NGN71.99.

If your MTN prepaid account does not have enough credit to cover the amount you have requested to transfer, the transaction will not be completed and you will receive an error message

All SMS and USSD for transferring credit using Share ‘n Sell are free of charge – only the amount that you want to transfer is deducted from your account.
