Let’s look at a common question that many MTN users have: “Why can’t I use MTN Share on my tariff plan?” It can be frustrating and annoying when you want to share airtime with your loved ones, but you find out that your tariff plan doesn’t support it. So, let’s get to the bottom of this and understand why some tariff plans might not allow you to use MTN Share.
What is MTN Share?
Before we go into the “why,” let’s quickly explain what MTN Share is. MTN Share, also known as MTN Share ‘n’ Sell, is a service that allows MTN subscribers to transfer airtime from their airtime balance to other MTN customers. It’s a very efficient and effective feature that comes in handy when you want to help out a friend or family member who is in a tight spot or stranded.
Now, your ability to use MTN Share depends on the tariff plan you’re currently on. You see, not all tariff plans support MTN Share, and that’s why you might be experiencing issues trying to use this service on MTN.
MTN has a number of different tariff plans, and each one comes with its own set of features and limitations/advantages and disadvantages. Some tariff plans are created to offer you more data, some give you better call rates, and others might even include some cool bonuses. But when it comes to MTN Share, not all tariff plans are created equal.
So, the first step in understanding why your tariff plan is not offering the MTN Share service is to check which tariff plan you’re currently subscribed to. Here’s how you can do it;
How to check your tariff plan on MTN
You can check your tariff plan by dialing a simple USSD code. Just dial*123*1*2# or*123# then follow and answer the prompts and instructions. This will give you information about your current tariff plan. You can also check your tariff plan by logging into your MTN account on the MTN website or using the MTN mobile app. Once you’re logged in, you should be able to see your current plan displayed there on the interface.
Why is my Tariff Plan not Allowed to Use MTN Share?
Now, to address the big question, why do some tariff plans not support MTN Share? Well, it all comes down to the way these plans are made to be. Some plans are enhanced for specific benefits like low call rates, while others are concentrated on data bonuses. MTN Share, on the other hand, involves transferring airtime, which may not fit with the key features of certain plans.
If a tariff plan is focused on providing you with a lot of data at affordable rates, it might not support MTN Share. On the other side, plans that are more balanced and include voice and SMS benefits are more likely to support MTN Share.
Another reason can also be that you don’t have an MTN share pin or you haven’t changed the default password, changing the default password is very important even on those tariff plans that support MTN share.
