So, I was looking for a way to turn the airtime into cash since it was too much for me to use it on calls alone.

Shaa, I wasn’t here to advertise aimtoget, so let’s go directly to the topic of the day. However, I know that till now, some persons don’t know what MTN share and sell is all about and as such, I will speedily give you a rundown of what we mean by MTN share and sell before showing you how to use it in transferring airtime from MTN-MTN and MTN-Other networks.

How to Change Transfer Pin on Mtn

As I said earlier that before you can perform any form of transfer with MTN share, you need to change your default transfer pin which is 0000.

The 0000 default pin was automatically assigned to you by MTN for making transfers. So, now you’ll have to change it, so as to be in control of your transfers since everybody knows that the MTN default transfer pin is 0000, and someone with your phone can easily temper and go away with your airtime and may even change the pin sef. So that’s why you must change this pin for security reasons.

With respect to that, MTN provided two methods (ways) you can use in changing your Transfer pin and these are;

1. Via text messages

Alternatively, you can choose the use the USSD Code option.

USSD Code
