Getting through to a Customer care representative on MTN Nigeria is almost as hard as trying to speak with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and gosh, I wish I were joking.
You’ve got a problem with the service but the thought of reaching your service provider is daunting because when you finally get through, the Customer service system wastes your time with long recorded messages;
” Choose language: For English Press 1, O gbo Yoruba Press 2….”
This machine goes on with its endless monologue, which in my opinion is specifically designed to frustrate us. If you are in luck, getting through to a real human being from this organisation will take you no less than 15 minutes of meandering through this labyrinth of a menu system. This post is an attempt to save you the time and headache and help you cut through all that red tape.
Step 1
Dial 180
Step 2
Wait for 2-3 seconds and just press 1 for English. (If you want any other language you’ll have to listen to the list… But you are reading this so… Good luck).
Step 3
Wait for 2-3 seconds and press 9 to take you to the Main Menu
Step 4
Wait for 2-3 seconds and press 6 to take you to the Support
Step 5
Wait for 2-3 seconds and press 0 to speak with a Customer Care Representative.
You will be immediately connected to a Customer Care Representative who may or may not be able to solve your problem, at the very least you won’t spend half an hour ploughing through the protocol.
These Customer Care systems change so it is important to keep in mind that this post is valid as at July 2018.
UPDATE
These Customer Care systems change so it is important to keep in mind that this post is valid as at May 2019.
I hope this has been helpful. If it is, please remember to share.

Hi, one of Mondo representatives called me last year selling your MTN contract but what he sold to me was not true. I have reported the issue and the investigation cases was opened and they did confirm that the guy actually sold me lies and said my contract will be cancelled. 2 weeks later I received the confirmation saying that my contract has been cancelled and now it’s on prepaid. But to my suprise, even now I’m still receiving the email statement saying that I must pay my bill because if I don’t I will be blacklisted. Can someone help understand how this things works because I haven’t been using the sim card ever since but the bill keeps on increasing
