Many Nigerian subscribers have recently expressed frustration over the sudden blockage of their SIM cards by telecommunication operators. This issue is primarily due to the failure of many subscribers to link their National Identification Number (NIN) to their SIM cards.
In response, MTN has released a new update providing a detailed guide on how subscribers can unblock their SIM cards easily, from any location and at any time. Here are the steps provided by MTN:
- Dial *996# or visit the website [https://nin.mtn.ng]
- Check NIN Status: Confirm whether your NIN is already linked to your SIM card.
- Enter OTP: Input the One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your phone number and email address.
- Enter NIN: Provide your National Identification Number.
- Give Consent: Agree to the terms and submit your NIN linking request.
MTN emphasizes that the OTP required for this process will be sent to both the phone numbers and email addresses of the subscribers, ensuring a secure and smooth verification process. By following these steps, subscribers can easily unblock their SIM cards and restore their mobile services.
