Self-service and support
Use the official MTN website or the current self-care app linked by MTN for account-specific plans and support.
Call 300 from a Nigerian mobile line for the harmonised customer-care route, or use the provider's official website and service centre information.
Safety
Confirm offers inside an official MTN channel. Do not share an OTP, recharge PIN, NIN slip or SIM-replacement code with an unsolicited caller.
