How To Share Data On Mtn To Other Network
Introduction
As a proud MTN subscriber, sharing data with friends and family on other networks is a common practice. In this article, we will delve into the nitty-gritty of MTN data sharing, providing a step-by-step guide to ensure seamless transfer.
Understanding MTN Data Sharing
MTN offers two primary data sharing methods: direct sharing and bundled sharing. Direct sharing allows you to send data directly to another MTN user, while bundled sharing enables data sharing within a group of up to five MTN users.
Direct Data Sharing
* Dial *131*7*Recipient's Number*Amount# (e.g., *131*7*08031234567*500#) and press Send. * The recipient will receive an SMS notification confirming the data transfer.
Bundled Data Sharing
* Create a data bundle group by dialing *131*5*1# and following the prompts. * Add up to four additional MTN users to the group. * Purchase a data bundle and assign it to the group. * All members of the group can now share the data.
Steps To Share MTN Data To Other Networks
Direct data sharing to other networks is not supported by MTN. However, there are alternative methods to achieve this:
Use a Data Gifting App
* Download a data gifting app such as Xender or Zapya. * Connect both devices using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. * Select the data amount and recipient and initiate the transfer.
Create an MTN Bundle Group
* Follow the steps outlined in the Bundled Data Sharing section above. * Add non-MTN users to the group using their phone numbers. * Purchase a data bundle and assign it to the group.
Note:
* Data gifting via apps may incur additional charges. * Non-MTN users in a data bundle group will be charged for data usage at their respective network rates.
Conclusion
Sharing MTN data with other networks requires specific methods due to the limitations of direct sharing. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily transfer data and stay connected with loved ones regardless of their network provider.
