MTN, Glo, Airtel, 9Mobile announce same shortcodes for data, airtime, other telecom services

MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile will be implementing a new unified set of shortcodes for all their services, as directed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

Starting from May 17, 2023, Nigeria’s major telecommunications companies will no more make use of separate shortcodes for performing operations like data balance, airtime recharge, etc.

However, with this new harmonised approach, all telcos will be using the same code for these services.

As of May 17, 2023, the old codes used by MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile subscribers will no longer function, and consumers are advised to familiarise themselves with the new codes for different services.
