How To Transfer Data On MTN To Another MTN

Smartphones have become essential tools for harnessing the internet in a portable manner. Just as a car requires fuel to operate, accessing the internet demands airtime or data bundles.

In Africa, particularly, users are consistently seeking mobile data bundle deals to maximize their internet usage.

Subscribers typically obtain their data bundles or airtime through subscription plans that span from a few days to several months.

While some users may have contemplated the possibility of transferring mobile data from their phones to those of friends, it’s important to note that MTN, for instance, doesn’t provide a specific code for direct data transfer between devices.

However, there’s an alternative approach, you can purchase airtime as a data bundle and share it with other MTN subscribers.

In the following sections, we’ll explore the steps involved in this process, shedding light on how users can effectively transfer MTN data to benefit both themselves and their connections.

7. You will then receive a message to verify the transaction
