The MTN Magic number is a simple service that allows new subscribers to make free calls with a selected MTN number for six months. I mean absolutely free calls with a 0.00 airtime balance. It is as simple as that however, it comes with lots of instructions in order to get it right.
How To Activate MTN Magic Number.
Before you start the process, you must make sure your number is not older than six months else it will not work. Also, know that the MTN magic number is exclusively for only new subscribers.
You must also select an MTN number you call more often in order to activate the MTN magic number. What will be happening after activation is that you will be able to call that selected number every day until six months without airtime.
- The process starts by dialing: “*550#“.
- After dialing the code, select option 8 (more).
- Select option 1(MTN Magic number).
- Select option 1 to enter the number you would like to use as your MTN magic number.
- Now, enter the MTN number you would like to use as your magic number and confirm.
That is it. You have activated the MTN Magic Number and you can now call the chosen number for free for six months. You can make free calls even if you have a 0.00 airtime balance.
What you should also know about this service is the fact that each customer can only activate this service once and that is it. The service can not be deactivated and the number used can not be seen or changed.
Since the number can not be changed, you must be very careful when selecting the number to activate the service.
