How to Check Your MTN Number in Ghana - A Step By Step Guide

Navigating through the maze of telecommunications can be daunting, especially when you need to remember multiple numbers from different providers. MTN Ghana understands this modern-day conundrum and has streamlined the process for its customers to check their MTN numbers effortlessly. If you are juggling more than one MTN line or have just slipped into the realm of dual SIM technology, fret not – finding your MTN number is simpler than you might think. Let's explore the seamless ways to identify your MTN number.

How to Check Your MTN Number in Ghana

1. Get Your Number from the SIM Card Casing

Every SIM card comes with a lifeline – the casing. The quickest way to recall your MTN number is by checking the SIM card's plastic holder. Flip it over, and you'll find your mobile lifeline imprinted there, including your MTN phone number, PIN, and PUK codes. Treat this casing like treasure; it's your quick fix in times of need, especially if your line gets lost or blocked.

2. MTN Call Centre: Your Personal Information Hub

MTN's customer service is more than just a helpline; it's a gateway to your SIM card details. To tap into this resource:

• Start by opening your phone's calling app.
• Dial 100 on your MTN line.
• Select your language preference and follow the voice prompts to connect with a customer care representative.
• Politely request your phone number, and jot it down for safekeeping.

This customer-friendly service won’t cost a penny and ensures you have your number whenever you need it.

3. Quick USSD Code Check

USSD codes are the magic strings of numbers that connect you to a host of services. For MTN customers, *156# is the magic number.

 

• Open the calling app on your device.
• Key in *156# and hit the call button.
• If you're rocking a dual SIM phone, make sure to select the MTN SIM.

 

Follow the subsequent prompts, and like a gentle wave, your MTN details will be displayed, all at no cost.

4. Make a Call and Discover Your Number

Sometimes, a bit of ingenuity is required. If you have a bit of airtime and another phone at hand (a friend's will do just fine):

• Open the calling app on your device.
• Dial your friend's number from your MTN line.
• Before they pick up, hang up or let them not answer the call. Your number will appear on their phone's screen.
• Record your number, and remember, this trick requires a tad bit of airtime.

 

In cases of zero balance, MTN's "Pay for Me" service is at your rescue. Dial 154 followed by recipient's number and hash, and let them bear the cost of the call.

5. Via SMS: The Silent Inquiry

For those who prefer a textual approach or have a single SIM device, SMS can be your ally. Here’s how:

• Navigate to your messaging app and start a new message.
• Send a simple message like "My Number" to a known phone number from your MTN line.
• Once sent, your MTN number will reflect on the other person's device. Make a note of it for future use.

 

6. Utilize MTN's Call Me Back Service

MTN's thoughtful "Call Me Back" service can also aid in recovering your number. To use it:

• Compose a new text message to 1399.
• Type the message format as '024xxxxxx 1', with the 'x's representing the recipient's MTN number.
• Hit send, and the recipient will receive a prompt that includes your MTN number.
• It's a clever and indirect method to get your number without needing airtime.

 

Registration Details and More

Need to verify your registration status? Dial *400#. Should you find any discrepancies, a visit to an MTN service center with your ID will resolve the issue.

Checking your MTN data balance, airtime, and even voicemail is just a USSD code away. Here's a snapshot:

• Reload airtime with 134voucherpin#.
• Inquiry about airtime balance via *124#.
• Purchase data bundles using *138#.
• 13816# is your gateway to YouTube streaming.
• Dial 108 for voicemail services.
• Running low on credit? *506# lets you borrow airtime.
• BlackBerry users, dial *140# for your plans.
• Configure internet settings with *585#.
• Activate MTN's free calls with *550#.
• To deactivate all subscriptions, simply dial *175#.
