How to Check MTN Number Via SMS

SMS (text message) is another way to check your MTN number.

How to Know MTN Number – Calling Customer Care

Similar to checking your number on Airtel, you cannot call specified digits and instantly hear a robotic voice calling out your number, only Glo has that feature.

That means how to get MTN number via customer service is different. Therefore, with MTN, you’ll need to call the real customer care line.

Here’s how.

• Dial 180 and call with your MTN line.
• Follow the prompt by pressing the option that says “Speak to a customer care representative”.
• Once the call connects, tell the representative that you want to to know your number.
• Answer some security questions and state your reasons for this request.
• Once that is done, the representative will call out your number.

Take note that you’ll need to have a pen and paper with you so that you could write down the number for the representative may not repeat his/herself.

How to Check MTN Number on Another Phone

This is by far the easiest way to check your MTN number as you only need another phone then use the MTN line in question to call or flash the line on the other phone.

For example; Get a friend’s phone, and call (flash) his/her line with your own MTN line, then take a pen and paper and write your MTN number down from your friend’s phone.

However, the only downside here is that you can’t use this method if you don’t have a sufficient airtime balance that could make a call or flash other lines on your MTN line.

Another way to know what your MTN number is on another phone is by sending a call me back message to your friend or someone nearby. I’ve explained how to do that earlier in this post. Just scroll back up if you missed it.
