How To Transfer Data on MTN to Another User

Running out of data when you need internet access can be frustrating. If you have enough data on your MTN line, you can transfer part of your bundle to another MTN user instead of asking them to subscribe for a new plan.

MTN allows customers to share data with friends, family members or other MTN numbers through its data transfer service. The process can be completed using the MTN USSD menu or the MyMTN app.

Transfer Data on MTN Using USSD

MTN customers can transfer data directly from their phone by accessing the data sharing option.

Follow these steps:

1. Dial *321# on your MTN line.
2. Select the data sharing or gifting option.
3. Choose the option to transfer data.
4. Enter the recipient’s MTN number.
5. Select the amount of data you want to send.
6. Confirm the transfer.

Once the transaction is successful, the recipient will receive the transferred data on their MTN line.

Transfer Data Using the MyMTN App

The MyMTN app provides another way for customers to manage their account and share data with another MTN user.

To transfer data using the app:

1. Open the MyMTN app.
2. Log in with your MTN number.
3. Select the data sharing or gifting option.
4. Enter the recipient’s MTN number.
5. Choose the amount of data you want to send.
6. Confirm the transaction.

The app can also be used to check data balance, buy bundles and access other MTN services.

Requirements for Transferring Data on MTN

Before transferring data to another MTN user, make sure:

• You have enough data balance available.
• The recipient uses an active MTN number.
• Your data bundle supports transfer.
• You enter the correct phone number.

Some special or promotional data bundles may not be eligible for transfer.

Why MTN Data Transfer May Not Work

If you are unable to transfer data, check the following:

• Confirm that you have enough data remaining.
• Make sure the recipient’s MTN number is correct.
• Check that your network connection is available.
• Ensure the data bundle you are using supports transfer.

Transferring data on MTN is a convenient way to help another user stay connected when they need internet access. As long as you have an eligible data bundle and the correct MTN number, the process can be completed in a few steps through the available MTN services.
