Answered question

Y'ello Henry, thank you for stopping by. So sorry about the loss of your Sim.

Sorry, Sim swap by proxy is currently not available. You can welcome back your Sim while in Nigeria. In the meantime, you can activate the Keep My Number service on the line to avoid disconnection, that is if the line has been linked to your NIN.

How to activate Keep My Number
For the 1 year bundle @ N511, text KMN1 to 36500
For the 2 years bundle @ N819, text KMN2 to 36500
For the 3 years bundle @ N1228, text KMN3 to 36500
You can also contact us to activate it for you.

So sorry about your lost Sim, Henry. Sim swap by proxy is not available at the moment. This means you can only welcome back the line while in Nigeria. Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause you.

Hi Henry, I am sorry about the loss of your SIM. Kindly be informed that the proxy SIM swap is currently not available on the MTN network. However, your physical presence is required at the office with your NIN/NIN slip.
