The app and your account at a glance
What you can usually do in the app
- Check your balance and active bundles.
- Buy or renew data, voice and message offers.
- View and stop subscriptions.
- Check your recent usage.
- Reach support.
- Manage some account details.
Features differ by country and can change with each update, so look inside your own app to see what is available.
How to get the app safely
| 1 | Open your phone app store. |
| 2 | Search for the official MTN app and check the publisher name. |
| 3 | Install it and open it. |
| 4 | Sign in or register with your MTN number. |
| 5 | Confirm any code sent to your phone, and never share it. |
| 6 | Set a PIN or fingerprint lock if the app offers one. |
Setting up your account
Use the number you want to manage. The app may send a code to that number to confirm it is yours. Use a strong password if you create one, and keep your recovery details up to date. Do not use the same password you use for email or banking.
Managing bundles and subscriptions
Open the section that shows your active offers. You can check the name, the remaining amount and the expiry date. Look for any offers that renew by themselves, and turn them off if you do not want them. Do this once a month so surprises are rare.
Checking usage and balance
| What to check | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Balance | Know what you can spend before a call or purchase |
| Data left | Plan the rest of the month |
| Expiry date | Renew before the offer ends |
| Recent charges | Spot wrong deductions early |
Account security
- Never share your PIN, password or one-time codes.
- Log out on shared phones.
- Keep the app and phone updated.
- Be careful with links in messages, even if they look official.
- Report a lost phone or SIM at once.
If someone asks for a code you received, it is likely a scam attempt.
If you have no smartphone or no data, you can use the service menu from your dialer. It gives many of the same options through simple text screens. Ask MTN or a service centre for the current way to open it, since menu shortcuts can change.
Common problems and fixes
Check your number, your signal and your data. Update the app and try again.
Wait a minute, check the number, and make sure messages are not blocked.

What to do if your phone is lost or stolen
Act quickly. Report the SIM as lost so it can be blocked, then log out of the app from another device if you can. Change the passwords that matter, such as email and any account linked to the number. Tell close contacts that messages from your number may not be you until the new SIM is active.
Keeping your details up to date
Your account works best when the information on it is correct. Check that your number, name and recovery details match your current situation. If you change phones, log out on the old phone first. If you move or change your ID, visit a service centre and ask what needs to be updated.
Final word
Managing your account yourself saves time and money. Use the official app, guard your codes and check your offers each month. When a feature is missing or unclear, check the app menu or ask customer care.
