The ability to transfer data from mtn to mtn is a great service that can come in very handy to numerous subscribers or users of the telecom company.

Not just that, you can also buy data for another mtn number and someone can also request that you buy data for them. Everything you need to know about this service will be explained in this write-up.

How to Transfer Data from MTN to MTN

Dial *131*Phone number*Data amount# or send Transfer Phone_Number data_amount to 131. Where phone_number is the mtn number you want to transfer data to and data_amount is the volume of data you want to transfer. For example, to transfer 100MB to 08067405364, dial 131*08067405364*100# or send Transfer 08067405364 100 to 131.

The lowest amount of data you can transfer is 10MB in a day, the highest amount you can transfer at any given time is 100MB and you can also send 50MB. However, your mtn data balance must be at least 50MB after a transfer for that transfer to be successful.

Even though the highest amount you can transfer in a day is 100MB, you can only transfer twice in a day. Also, you can’t transfer your data bonus or promotional data such as the mtn youtube night data bonus, it has to be from a data balance you purchased.

How to Gift Data from MTN to MTN

Dial *131*Data Plan Code*Recipient’s Phone number#. Make sure you have enough airtime to buy this plan and the beneficiary’s number will immediately be credited.

Unlike the data-sharing service, there is no limit to how many times you can buy a data bundle for any mtn numbers. The plan behaves like a normal plan on their side, which means they can get a double data bonus if they are eligible for it.

How to Request Data from a Friend

Dial *131*7*3# and enter your friend’s mtn phone number. Other mtn numbers can also request you to buy data for them and you can view the list by dialing *131*7*4#.

Final Thought

It has never been this easy to share or gift data from one mtn line to another mtn number. The previous method requires you to have a list of beneficiaries and it is not even as flexible as this particular method.

One thing I am really excited about with this service is the ability to buy internet plans for another mtn number.
