How to Check MTN Credit Account Balance

In March 2023, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) directed mobile network operators (MNOs) to commence the implementation of approved harmonised shortcodes (HSC) for providing certain services to telecom consumers in Nigeria. This directive has now been implemented by MTN Nigeria which means the old USSD code (*556#) to check your airtime balance no longer works.
