Here Are All MTN Short Codes With Updated Benefits You Should Know
The new telecommunication tariff regime is now in effect, bringing adjusted product pricing and updated benefits for subscribers. As part of broader efforts to help users get the most out of every Naira spent, telecom providers are deploying different strategies—with MTN Nigeria staying firmly in the lead.
To make services more seamless, affordable, and transparent for all users—whether you’re a data-heavy user, caller, or a social-only surfer—MTN Nigeria has streamlined its shortcodes. The company, which plays high-impact roles in sectors like education (MTN Foundation Scholarship), sports (MTN Champs), and national orientation (Go MAD campaign), is reshaping access to its services.
For instance, the shortcode to recharge is now *311*PIN#, while airtime balance is checked with *310#. The data balance shortcode is *323#, which now displays all active bundles including social, daily, and promotional data.
Borrowing credit or data is now done via *303#, with service fees ranging from 10–15% depending on the amount borrowed.
To buy data, users can dial *312#, which gives access to MTN Nigeria’s bundle plans crafted to suit the prevailing economic realities. Daily plans (24-hour validity) include:
75MB for N75 – Text 114 to 312
120MB for N100 – Text 104 to 312
1GB + 3 mins voice for N350 – Text 155 to 312
1.5GB for N400 – Text 199 to 312
2.5GB for N750 (available only via myMTN App)
Two-day plans include:
2GB for N750 – Text 154 to 312
2.5GB for N900 – Text 146 to 312
3.2GB for N1,000 – Text 180 to 312
Experts recommend smart strategies such as using night plans if you’re a heavy downloader, stacking loyalty points weekly and redeeming before expiry, opting for WhatsApp-only bundles (via *312#) if you’re chat-focused, and combining Awuf4U with weekend use for maximum airtime stretch.
Weekly plans (7-day validity) now include:
1GB + 5 mins voice for N800 – Text 142 to 312

MTN’s Awuf4U bonus, available via 888PIN#, offers rewards on calls and data (e.g. N100 gives N400 bonus for on-net usage), valid for 14 days. MTN loyalty points, accessible via *406#, are now rewarded for usage but expire monthly.
