How to buy data with the FCMB USSD code
Data is the one thing you cannot buy once it is gone, unless the bank gives you a way in that needs no data. For FCMB customers that way in is *329#.
What we can and cannot confirm
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can you buy data with *329#? | Yes. FCMB’s launch announcement lists airtime and data, and a current guide prints data codes. |
| Is there a single confirmed data code? | No. Guides print different formats. |
| Does the menu work as a fallback? | Yes. Dial *329# and read the options on your screen. |
The formats guides print
One guide gives *329*1*Phone Number# and also *329*4*Customer ID# for data. Another guide gives no data format at all. Because these cannot both be right for every customer, start from the menu and let your own screen decide.
Buy data in 5 steps
1. Dial *329# from your registered number.
2. Choose the data option, or the airtime and data section.
3. Enter the number that should receive the data.
4. Select a bundle and check the size and price shown.
5. Enter your PIN and wait for the confirmation.
Check before you confirm
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Receiving number | A typo sends the bundle to a stranger. |
| Bundle size and price | Make sure it matches what you meant to buy. |
| Account balance | Your account must cover the price plus any fee. |
| Validity | Bundles expire, so know how long yours lasts. |
If it does not work
▸ Check that you dialed from the registered SIM.
▸ Confirm you finished registration and have a PIN.
▸ Make sure the SIM has a little airtime for the session.
▸ Try again at a quieter hour if the network is busy.
▸ Contact FCMB customer care if money left your account and no data arrived.
Test the data option with your smallest bundle, so you know it works before you are stuck.
