NCC USSD codes: The Nigerian communication commission has directed all mobile network operators in Nigeria to adopt new harmonized shortcodes. According to the commission, this is a customer-centric approach because it will harmonize and give uniformity to the telecommunication space. Mobile service providers like MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile will all have the same short code for recharging, borrowing, and other services.
Today, we are looking at all the new shortcodes that will work across every network. In case you don’t know, the present shortcodes for every network will stop working before the end of May 2023. The codes listed below will work across any network in Nigeria.
With the NCC harmonized codes, you can now buy data, check your data balance, borrow data, buy airtime, share data and airtime, check your NIN sim, and much more across all Networks. This means that the same code you use for data on your MTN will also work for all other networks. This is a welcome development as this will save many from having to memorize code.
