Additionally, it will touch upon the approval obtained by MTN, Glo, and Airtel from the NCC to potentially disconnect banks\u2019 USSD codes due to unpaid debts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftwp-container-outer\" class=\"ftwp-in-post ftwp-float-none\">\n<div id=\"ftwp-container\" class=\"ftwp-wrap ftwp-minimize ftwp-middle-right\">\n<nav id=\"ftwp-contents\" class=\"ftwp-shape-round ftwp-border-medium\">\n<header id=\"ftwp-header\">\n<h3 id=\"ftwp-header-title\">Contents<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-1\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">Implementation of Harmonized Codes<\/h2>\n<p>The NCC\u2019s directive, effective May 17, 2023, signifies the discontinuation of old codes previously used for recharging, data subscriptions, and balance inquiries. To ensure a smooth transition, telecom companies are actively informing their millions of customers about the new codes. By adhering to the harmonized codes, customers will experience a standardized approach to accessing telecom services across all networks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-2\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">MTN\u2019s Message to Customers<\/h2>\n<p>On May 18, 2023, MTN sent a message to its customers, notifying them about the change in codes. The message outlined the\u00a0new codes\u00a0for different services.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2577\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/subbase.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mtn-new-codes-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/subbase.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mtn-new-codes-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/subbase.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mtn-new-codes-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/subbase.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Mtn-new-codes-1.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ftwp-postcontent\">\n<p>To access data plans, customers are now required to dial *312#. For airtime recharge, the new code is *311#, while *303# enables customers to borrow airtime or data.<\/p>\n<p>To check their data balance, customers can dial *323#, and *310# allows them to check their account balance. The code *321# facilitates data sharing, *305# is for value-added services (VAS), and *996# is designated for verifying the subscriber identity module (SIM) registration or NIN-SIM linkage.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-3\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">List of Harmonized Codes for Telecommunication Networks<\/h2>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The harmonized codes introduced by the NCC aim to streamline and simplify telecom services. Here is a list of the key codes implemented across all mobile networks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>300: Call Center\/Help Desk<\/li>\n<li>301: Voice Mail Deposit<\/li>\n<li>302: Voice Mail Retrieval<\/li>\n<li>303: Borrow Services<\/li>\n<li>305: STOP Service<\/li>\n<li>310: Check Balance<\/li>\n<li>311: Credit Recharge<\/li>\n<li>312: Data Plan<\/li>\n<li>321: Share Services<\/li>\n<li>323: Data Plan Balance<\/li>\n<li>996: NIN-SIM Verification<\/li>\n<li>2442: Do-Not-Disturb (DND) Complaint Management<\/li>\n<li>3232: Mobile Number Portability (MNP)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-4\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">Government Approval for Disconnecting Banks\u2019 USSD Codes<\/h2>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In a separate development, Nigerian telecommunications companies, including MTN, Glo, and Airtel, have received approval from the NCC to potentially disconnect banks\u2019 USSD codes. This action comes as a response to the banks\u2019 failure to settle outstanding debts owed to the telcos for USSD services. As a consequence, customers of these banks may be temporarily unable to perform USSD transactions until the matter is resolved. This move underscores the importance of maintaining financial agreements and settling obligations to ensure uninterrupted services for customers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-5\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The implementation of harmonized codes by Nigerian telecom companies marks a significant step towards standardizing access to airtime, data, and services across all networks.<\/p>\n<p>Customers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new codes to avoid disruptions in their transactions. The approval obtained by MTN, Glo, and Airtel to potentially disconnect banks\u2019 USSD codes highlights the importance of fulfilling financial obligations. And maintaining productive relationships between telecommunication providers and financial institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To Register Or Login On SubBase <a
