Tricks

If you try making a call and it drops without any feedback or you get the feedback ‘call end’, probably you have mistakenly hidden your caller ID so just dial #31#, turn the phone Off and On, and you should be able to make the call.

Dial ##21# if most of your callers are getting feedback that they are calling the wrong number or they claim somebody else answered their call. Probably you have mistakenly done a call divert so that shortcode will cancel the divert.

Dial #33*0000# if you are making a call and it drops giving you the feedback “call barred”. It will cancel the call barring.

You can check lotto results by sending the first three letters of the days of the week in caps to 1903 at a fee. Example: send ‘MON’ to ‘1903’ to check Monday’s lotto results.

MTN Master Beneficiary Data Bundle

The MTN master beneficiary data bundle is one of the best data bundle options most people use since it gives more data than a normal bundle code.

It is quite unfortunate that this option is currently under maintenance. It is the same service you can use on USSD code: *513#.

The last update of this post shows that the service is currently under maintenance. However, you can try other MTN data bundle options to get even more data. Try using the MTN Zone data bundle to get more data.

Dial *135# and select option 2 to see the available data bundles for your zone. Trust me, you can get as much as 5GB worth of data for just 4GHC or 5GHC depending on your zone.

MTN Short Codes and Tricks Disclaimer

These are just a few of the so many MTN codes. Most of these codes have been tested and some of them involve airtime charges so trying them will be at your own risk.
