New Way To Activate Your Smartphone/SIM Card For MTN 4G LTE Services

It's no longer news that MTN now delivers 4G LTE services across Nigeria, thanks to successful acquisition of Visafone earlier this year.

However, the issue with using MTN 4G network which currently run on Band 7 (2600mHz) services is that MTN users need to swap their current SIM card with a 4G supported SIM from MTN office closest to you which is another bit of work on the customers side but not really a big deal when compared to the benefits of flexing the high speed network experience.


HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR SMARTPHONE IS COMPATIBLE WITH MTN 4G NETWORK
MTN have made it easier for you and me to check if our phones are compatible to receive the 4G services by introducing a new short message code and this is how it works;
✔ Your Smartphone must have 4G network features
✔ Now text 4G to 131

And you should receive an SMS instantly if your device is eligible

Yello! Your device is 4G ready but you need to upgrade your SIM to enjoy tMTN 4G LTE


Finally, just head over to any MTN office around your area once your phone is compatible and request for 4G SIM swap and you are good to go.

Are you rocking 4G phone? Do you know that MTN, Ntel, Smile etc have several 4G LTE data plans for you? See below links;

Meanwhile, if you are still on 3G network... Hmmmm no words for now. Maybe after recessions ☺

    1. Did you set ur phone to accept installation from unknown source? If no, set it and install again.

      After that, turn the unknown source installation off again

  4. 4g!,its price tag remains slightly high...i wonder if customer response is high.3.45g still satisfies my needs until they do something about their product pricing... Is it true that MTN 4g is the slowest of the lot in 9jer?
