    How To Reserve Your MTN Number so you never lose it

    Do you have that special MTN number you’d never want to lose? If so then you don’t need to worry at all.

    If you are traveling outside the country for more than three (3) months, then reserving your MTN number is one of the several options available to you. Mostly the first thing that comes to mind is signing up for the roaming service.

    Apart from roaming, MTN Ghana allows subscribed customers to reserve their MTN numbers using their Number Reservation service. Although this service comes at a cost, it is the surest way of keeping that special MTN number of yours.

    What is MTN Number Reservation?

    MTN Number Reservation is the process whereby subscribed MTN customers are allowed to keep their mobile numbers for as long as 24 months (2 years) without being active on the platform.

    This service comes at a very cheap cost compared to the amount that you would have used to buy new SIM cards if your number was deactivated.

    As you might be aware, if your MTN SIM card stays inactive for three (3) to four (4) months, your SIM card and your mobile number for that matter will be deactivated. Once it is deactivated, the number will be given to someone else.

    Because of that, whenever you are traveling outside the country for more than three (3) or four (4) months, you need to reserve your number. Even if you wish not to use your MTN SIM for the same duration, you equally need to reserve your MTN number.

    How To Reserve Your Personal MTN Number

    1. Dial *1390# on your phone
    2. Select option 1 (Reserve my number (Prepaid only))
    3. Choose your preferred reservation period (12 months or 24 months)
    4. Enter your alternate mobile number or email address
    5. Confirm your alternate mobile number or email address by re-entering it
    6. The amount will be charged from your main (airtime) account and the number will be reserved for you

    How To Reserve An MTN Number For Someone

    1. Dial *1390# on your phone
    2. Select option 99 (More)
    3. Choose option 2 (Reserve a number for your family and friends)
    4. Choose your preferred reservation period (12 months or 24 months)
    5. Enter the person’s alternate mobile number or email address
    6. Confirm the person’s alternate mobile number or email address by re-entering it
    7. The amount will be charged from your main (airtime) account and the number will be reserved for you
    8. A confirmation SMS will be sent to the person for he/she to consent to the choice you are making. Once the consent is given, the procedure will take place

    What Are The Reservation Charges?

    There are two (2) main reservation charges, i.e. 12 months and 24 months. The charges for each of these are:

    • 12 months – GHS 15.00
    • 24 months – GHS 25.00

    How To Check When Your Number Reservation Will End

    1. Dial *1390# on your phone
    2. Choose option 99 (More)
    3. Select option 3 (Check expiry date of reserved number)
    4. The expiry date of the number will be displayed for you
    5. Additionally, an SMS will be sent containing the expiry date of your reserved number

    Conclusion

    The MTN Number reservation platform is a very straightforward and easy to follow platform. This means, whether you are a techie or not, you can easily reserve your number.

    Also, the price is very cheap and affordable and you can easily do it yourself as a whole without visiting any MTN office. In this pandemic, this is perfectly good as it will reduce the number of persons who visit their offices each day.

    Please take note of scammers who claim to be from MTN, and demand money from you before they reserve your number for you. Whenever you come across such people, feel free to report them to MTN.

    NOTE: MTN workers never reserves people’s number for them online. Just follow the steps listed above and you are good to go.

    if your answer is yes, then this article is the right fit for you. This is because, in this article, I will show you how to set up a new iPhone or switch to a new iPhone from your old iPhone.

    After buying your new iPhone from the store, one of the most important mandatory things you need to do when you buy a new iPhone is to set it up.  

    Without setting up your iPhone, there’s no way you can be able to use your iPhone. For those who are switching from an old iPhone to a new iPhone, the process is a little straightforward unlike those who are using it for the very first time.

    Once you switch on your new iPhone, the next thing you will see after the Apple logo is the Setup Assistant. It is through the Setup Assistant that you will establish essentials like your Wi-Fi network, your Apple ID and iCloud account, etc.

    It is not compulsory to establish all the essentials, some of them can be skipped and performed later. For example, Face ID or Touch ID (depending on the type of iPhone), the passcode can be skipped during set up and performed later.

    All these may sound like a lot of work to do in a few minutes but in reality, all these are straightforward and can be completed in just a few minutes. Upon completion, you can then make the most out of your new iPhone.

    How To Set Up A New iPhone

    1. Remove your new iPhone from the box and turn it on.
    2. Choose Hello from the different language’s greetings.
    3. When asked, choose your language from the list of languages and then select the region and country you are located at.
    4. Tap on Set Up Manually.
    5. Connect your new iPhone to a Wi-Fi network, cellular network or iTunes to activate your iPhone.
    6. Set up your Face ID or Touch ID or you can skip this step and set it up later.
    7. If you choose to set up the Face ID and the Touch ID, then you need to enter a six-digit or four-digit passcode. This is what you will use to unlock some features in case your Face ID or Touch ID is not working.
    8. If this is your first time using an iPhone, tap on Don’t Transfer Apps & Data.
    9. If you have an old iPhone, choose from Restore from iCloud Backup, Restore from Mac or PC, Transfer Directly from iPhone, or Move Data from Android. if you choose this option, your remaining steps will be different from the one below. All you have to do is to follow the instructions to complete your setup.
    10. Sign in with your Apple ID (if you have) or you can tap on Forgot password or don’t have an Apple ID to create a new one.
    11. You can choose to Turn on automatic updates and set up other devices.
    12. Set up Siri and other services. (Not compulsory)
    13. Set up Screen Time and more display options. (Not compulsory)
    14. After, skipping or setting up all the other options, tap on Get Started to begin using your new iPhone.

    Conclusion

    As stated above, it is not important to set up all the options and features at once. You can always skip some of them and complete them later.

    But for security reasons, I will recommend that you set up either the Face ID or Touch ID. Siri and the other display options can always be done later.

    Now that you know how to set up a new iPhone, make sure to follow the steps closely to avoid errors. Welcome to the new world of iOS. Make sure to check out all our iPhone articles to make the most out of your new iPhone.
