Without distracting you with much noise lets take a look at the tutorial that will help you transfer airtime in any nigerian network.

For MTN users


About MTN share 'n' sell

MTN share 'n' sell is services that is created by MTN to assist it's subscribers in sending airtime from their MTN account to another MTN customers account directly. share 'n' sell is available to any existing MTN prepaid/postpaid customer.

MTN share 'n' sell services is free of charge and only the amount you transfer will be deducted from your account. you can only transfer in naira amount and not in kobo. The process and procedures to transfer airtime from your account to another customers account is available in both SMS and USSD string codes and there is no limit to the maximum of transaction per day.

The minimum amount to be transferred at a time is N50 and the maximum amount is N5000 in a single transaction.

How to activate MTN share 'n' sell service

When i say activation am actually referring to the process of changing the default MTN PIN to enable you make the transaction securely. MTN provides a default PIN for each subscriber and the need for that subscriber to use the default PIN and change it to his/her own memorable four-digits numbers which he can easily remember to authenticate his/her transaction anytime at anywhere. the default PIN is 0000 for each MTN line, as before changing the PIN via USSD codes is actually active but as of now and at the time of this post you will always receive no reply when try to change with USSD codes which renders you with no option than to use the SMS alternative in changing your PIN. here is how to change your PIN using sms

Sms 0000 2222 2222 to 777

this is an example above on how to change your PIN

Take note: the first four zeros implies your default code and the subsequent four digits numbers as seen above i.e 2222 represent your PIN and you have to still repeat the four 2s as a confirmation on the PIN, you can substitute it to any four digit numbers you like but the default PIN remain 0000 and the message structure will remain same as in above as there is always a space between the default PIN, new PIN, and confirm new PIN. 

Immediately after sending this, if everything is alright you will receive a successful message that your PIN has been successfully change but if contrary, then you will receive a message telling you that the old PIN is incorrect in this case there are two things involved either someone has already changed your PIN or else try using 1234 as your default PIN but if you get and unsuccessful message again you have no option rather than to call customer care or chat with them online here to reset the PIN for you.

After due process in changing your PIN, if successful you can proceed to transfer your airtime either using SMS or USSD string codes..


How to transfer credit with MTN share 'n' sell

using SMS..
send sms transfer 08165878679 479 1234 to 777
you will receive a reply immediately from 777 requesting you to confirm the transaction by replying with YES to 777 within 15 minutes or reply cancel to abort the transaction.
Simply sms YES to 777 within 15 minutes to confirm and validate the transaction.

The sms format should be inline with the above example as the "transfer" is referring to the structure of transaction you need while the "08165878679" means the person your sending the airtime to, "479" denotes the amount to be sent as it can be any amount you wish and is available on your account and "1234" means the PIN you change above to authenticate the transaction.

Using USSD codes..
I recommend this method because it is much easier and simple than the aforementioned one.
simply dial *600*recipient no*amount*PIN#
E.g *600*08165878679*479*1234#
Nothing to define much on the code above as you know *600 means your actually referring to  the share 'n' sell service followed by the recipient number of whom you want to transfer the credit to as in example above 08165878679 followed by the amount you want to transfer i.e 479 and then lastly the secret four-digit number of your choice above i.e 1234

i believe with the above guide you can be able to activate and use the MTN share 'n' sell service
