Are you an MTN or Airtel user wanting to share data between the two networks? Most folks search for ways to send data from MTN to Airtel, and while transferring data within the same network is easy, shifting data across networks isn’t so commonly talked about. We understand this might be important for you to know.
How to transfer data from MTN to Airtel
Let's start by explaining how Airtel users can transfer data within their network. Airtel offers a service called me2u that allows users to share data from one Airtel line to another. Here's how to do it:
- Open the call app on your phone, and dial *141*6# from your Airtel line.
- Choose the me2u service, usually option 8.
- Pick option 2 to send data from your current balance to someone else.
- Enter the recipient's Airtel number.
- Specify the amount of data you want to send.
- Input your unique Airtel transfer password.
- Confirm the transaction.
Airtel transfer pin
The default pin for transferring data on Airtel is 1234. It's a good idea to change this to a unique 4-digit PIN only you know for added security:
- Dial *141*6# from your Airtel line.
- Choose the option to change your default pin (usually option 1).
- Follow the prompts to set a new 4-digit PIN and confirm it.
How to transfer data from MTN to Airtel
Now, about transferring data from MTN to Airtel. Unfortunately, there isn't a specific pin to transfer data from MTN to Airtel or a method provided by MTN for this kind of data transfer between networks. The same goes for transferring data from Airtel to MTN or any other network in Nigeria. It's something that the network providers haven't made possible yet. So no matter the search on how to transfer data from MTN to Airtel using USSD code, there isn't any code.
Final Thoughts
Currently, MTN hasn't given us a way on how to transfer data from MTN to Airtel. Hopefully, they or Airtel will come up with a method for how to transfer data from MTN to other networks. In the meantime, you can continue surprising your loved ones using Airtel by sharing your data within the Airtel network.
