How activate MTN roaming while abroad.
The most appropriate way to activate roaming services on MTN is to do so in your country, say Ghana, before you travel overseas. The MTN roaming services allow you to use your MTN sim like you would in your home country while abroad.
Activating MTN roaming before leaving to abroad, you need to follow these steps:
- Check if you have roaming service activated via MTN App or USSD*135# & *136# option 5 for self-service and follow prompts.
- Check if there is a Prepaid roaming partner in the country you are visiting.
- Check your airtime balance and ensure you have sufficient airtime before leaving
- Purchase an MTN Hello World bundle on *136# and please take note of where bundles for prepaid customers are available under Hello World Data bundles information.
- If you are visiting one of the countries that only have LTE i.e., USA, please ensure your device is capable for VoLTE.
