With the recent directive coming from the NCC asking all telecommunication providers to block any subscriber’s SIM card that’s not linked/registered to their National Identity Number (NIN), we have decided to show you guys how you can link your NIN to either/both MTN or Airtel SIM cards.
How to link NIN to MTN numbers
Dial *785# on your MTN line and provide your NIN number to link it. You can confirm if your number has been linked to your NIN number by dialling *346#, it doesn’t cost anything to check for that.
How to link NIN to Airtel numbers
Dial ∗121∗1# and follow the prompt to link your Airtel number to NIN. You can confirm if your number has been linked to your NIN number by dialling *346#, it doesn’t cost anything to check for that.
According to the directive from the NCC, numbers that are not linked to their NIN in two weeks time would get blocked, we don’t know if this would come to pass but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
