MTN has announced new channels for its customers to buy data and airtime. The telecom company made this move after it blocked its subscribers from using the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) codes.
This was a fallout of MTN’s reduction of the commissions it pays out to banks and fintech firms on the sales of airtime and data.
Below is the list and links to access the various alternative platforms according to the telco:
1. MTN On Demand is on *904# and also via https://mtnondemand.flutterwave.com;
