How to send money using MTN Share n Sell

MTN Nigeria offers a free service to subscribers that allows one to send money to another subscriber on the MTN network. This free service is called MTN Share n sell.

As the name says, it allows one to share or sell airtime credit with or to another person within the network. In essence it is actually a transfer or money although in form of airtime to another person.

How to do MTN Share n Sell
There are two ways I know one can use this service:
- Using SMS
- Using USSD

1. Share n sell Using SMS
This simply means using sms to transfer airtime on MTN.

If you are already subscribed to the service, then simply send the sms in the following format to 777:

Transfer 0803xxxxxxx Amount 0000

2. Share n sell using USSD

Just dial 600*0803xxxxxxx*Amount*Pin#

Assuming 0803xxxxxxx is the receiver

Pin is your 4 digit number eg 0000 or 1234 or any other digit you've changed it to

Amount is the amount you are transferring in units eg for N50, it will be 50

First things first. How to subscribe
Before being able to start using this service, you need to subscribe first by changing your pin. Afterwards you can start using the service as often as you want.

Change your PIN to subscribe: By dialing *601*default PIN*New PIN*New PIN# Send/Ok e.g. *601*0000*1234*1234#

You can also change your pin by sending sms to 777 in the format: default_PIN New_PIN New_PIN e.g 0000 1234 1234 if you want to change from 0000 to 1234
