  • MTN Pocket MiFi: Price, Discount, How To Buy Data, Check Balance, and More

    MTN Pocket MiFi: Price, Discount, How To Buy Data, Check Balance, and More

    The MTN Pocket MiFi is a portable internet device that allows you to connect a maximum of ten (10) devices at a time. There are no limitations on the type of device you can connect to your MTN pocket MiFi, whether it is your mobile phone, tablet, laptop, game console, Smart TV, etc.

    Unlike fibre broadband and other Wi-Fi devices, the MTN Pocket MiFi just as the name sounds is meant for the pocket and can be placed in your pocket and taken everywhere. Also, you don’t need a power supply to be able to use your MTN pocket MiFi, once you charge your battery to its maximum capacity, your MiFi can serve you for some time.

    Apart from the advantages the MiFi has over WiFi that has been explained above, the MTN Pocket MiFi is also relatively cheaper than the normal WiFi and fixed broadbands offered by MTN. Thus, making it a good option for people with a small budget plan like students and small companies.

    In this article, we are going to discuss everything you need to know about the MTN pocket MiFi; from the price, discount packages, how to buy data, how to check your internet balance, and many more.

    Types/Models of MTN Pocket MiFi

    In Ghana, there are two main types/models of the MTN pocket MiFi. These are the:

    • 3G Pocket MiFi
    • 4G Pocket MiFi

    Each of these two devices can connect a maximum of ten (10) devices to the internet at a time. In this COVID-19 era where many people are either schooling or working from home, the MTN pocket MiFi will be a good investment to make.

    MTN Pocket MiFi Price and Which One To Buy

    The 4G MTN pocket MiFi costs GHS 350 and the 3G pocket MiFi sells at GHS 130. Each of them comes with free data for either a month or three (3) months depending on when you buy it.

    Ideally, you should buy the 4G MTN pocket MiFi instead of the 3G MTN pocket MiFi if you can afford it. Besides, the price difference between the two is not that big. The reason why I prefer the 4G MiFi to the 3G MiFi is that it is faster and therefore connects to the internet faster. One annoying thing is when the internet on your device is very slow.

    When having meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams faster internet will result in faster connection and clear audio and video throughout your meeting.

    MTN Pocket MiFi Discount and Promotions and Where To Buy From

    On special occasions, MTN Ghana offers promotions to their customers. During such occasions, you will be able to get the pocket MiFi at a cheaper price than the original.

    Also, you can always check Jumia Ghana to see if there is a discount on the MTN pocket MiFi and then buy from them.

    You can buy the MTN pocket MiFi from any of the MTN Ghana offices located across the country. You can also purchase it from any of the MTN accredited distributors in the country at the same price as the one sold at the office.

    Similarly, you can download the MyMTN app and connect your phone number to it. This way, you will be able to see the data balance you have left without removing the SIM card from the MiFi.

    Conclusion

    MTN Ghana is known by many as the biggest telecommunications network in Ghana due to the availability of network poles in almost every part of the country. The pocket MiFi is a great addition to the products and services offered by MTN Ghana to their customers.

  • How To Increase Your Mobile Money Transaction Limit

    How To Increase Your Mobile Money Transaction Limit

    Mobile Money transactions have significantly hijacked the payment ecosystem in Ghana. Almost everyone sees the need to use Mobile Money for transactions before the end of every day.

    However, what most people don’t know is that there are limitations on the amount of money that can be transacted using your mobile money account. These figures are compartmentalized into daily, monthly and total account balance limits.

    The Daily limit is how much money can be sent and received within a day while the monthly is the total amount that can be received and sent through your mobile money account in a single month.

    On the other hand, the account limit is the highest amount of money you can have in your account at every given time.

    Fortunately, these amounts are quite considerable and okay depending on the volume of transactions you do. For fairness sake, the limits are further grouped into tiers.

    Presently, MTN Mobile Money has 2 tiers. So, if you are on the first tier and you hope to increase your limit to a higher amount, you can request to be moved to the second tier.

    In the ensuing paragraphs, we look at the various tiers, their limits and how to apply to be moved to the next tier.

    Mobile Money Tiers and Their Limits

    As indicated previously, there are two tiers for MTN Mobile money accounts. They are the tier 1 and tier 2.

    So, here we look at the various tiers and what their limits are.

    Tier One Limits

    Daily limits: GHS 2,000. You can only send and receive up to GHS 2,000 every 24 hours if you are on this tier.

    Monthly Limits: GHS 20,000. For an entire month, you are expected to send and receive a cumulative sum of not more than GHS 20,000 under this Mobile Money tier.

    Total Account Limit: GHS 10,000. At any given time or day, your account cannot hold money or balance exceeding GHS 10,000. The highest amount you can have in your account is exactly GHS 10,000.

    Tier 2 Limits

    Daily Limit: GHS 5,000.

    Monthly Limit: GHS 50,000.

    Total Account Limit: GHS 20,000.

    How To Increase Your Limit

    Given that you are not pleased with the total volume of daily or monthly transactions you can easily request an upgrade on your account.

    So the big question is, how do you request an account upgrade and what do you need for that?

    Just follow the steps below and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

    1. Visit any MTN office near you and request for an upgrade on your Mobile money account.
    2. They’ll ask you for some documents and the ID card you used in registering your MOMO account.
    3. The process usually takes 24 hours to reflect after submitting the required documents.

    Some of the documents required include a Bank Statement from not more than 3 months ago, a Utility Bill with your name on it, Employer’s reference letter or a Registered Tenancy Agreement which has your name on it.

    Any of these documents together with the ID card you used in registering your account will pass for this process.

    Why There Are Limits On Transactions

    Limits placed on Mobile money transactions are beyond the control of the various service providers.

    The Bank of Ghana – the regulatory body of financial institutions in Ghana gives quotas to every deposit-taking and withdrawal-giving institution operating in the country.

    As such, Mobile Money services are also given a quota. That quota results in the limits given by the various operators – further divided into tiers.

    So, in effect, apart from the two tiers of Mobile Money accounts, you cannot seek an upward review of your Mobile Money wallet under any circumstance.

    This is mostly for security reasons.

    Conclusion

    Mobile money is the saviour of the Ghanaian payment ecosystem. With its introduction, many financial transactions have become easier and more flexible.

    However, pre-defined limits placed on accounts make life difficult for account owners sometimes.

    This is mostly true for individuals who transact very huge sums of money on a weekly or monthly basis. But that doesn’t have to be the end.

    You can still expand your Mobile Money account limits a notch further to contain your transactions.

    Hopefully, in the near future, the limits will be reviewed again to ensure that account holders can trade larger amounts of money.

  • How To Check Your MTN SIM Registration Status

    How To Check Your MTN SIM Registration Status

    In today’s digital world, the use of the Mobile phone is practically impossible to do away with.

    It has formed part of our lives one way or the other and we have had to understand and live with this for so many years.

    https://mfidie.com/how-to-register-your-sim-card-and-link-to-ghana-card/

    One thing that for sure drives the usage of mobile phones in most parts of the world is the Simcard.

    While Wifi connectivity may be enough for running your phone especially the smartphones, Simcard is largely the driver for mobile phones, especially in Ghana.

    At such, it is important that we discuss the use of the Simcard in our mobile devices and how to ensure that they are registered properly.

    When we talk of mobile telecommunications network operators in Ghana, there’s one name which stands out presently and that’s MTN.

    With the possibility of your Simcard being involved in any situation where you need to identify ownership of it, how do you verify your Simcard Registration status and details on MTN?

    Well, I have all the answers you need to that question in this very article. Sit tight and find the answers you want and more below.

    How To Check Your Sim Card Registration Details

    To check whether your SIM card is registered and also find out the SIM card registration details of your MTN line, kindly follow the steps below:

    1. Using the Simcard you want to verify, dial *400#
    2. Wait for some few seconds for the result to load.
    3. If registered properly, you’d see your name in full appear on the next page with other information about how to correct wrong registration details.

    So, for example, in my case, when I dial that code on my MTN number, I get this feedback: GODWIN GABLA.

    However, if the SIM card is not registered, you’ll be informed in the feedback that the SIM card isn’t registered.

    What To Do If Your Registration Details Are Inaccurate

    For some strange or coincidental reasons, you may have some parts of your registration details inaccurately entered. When you confirm this by dialling *400#, what are the options available for you?

    Here, under this subheading, I shall run you through the necessary steps you need to take to handle such a situation.

    • Visit any nearby any MTN Ghana branch with your ID card, images of your ID card and other relevant information to personally change your registration details.
    • You can also call the customer care line ‘100’ and follow the prompts to talk to an agent about your problem. Make sure to have all details about your sim card and your ID card available before making this call.
    • You may also Whatsapp MTN customer care line via 0555300000.
    • If you prioritize emails, you can as well send your ID card, your details, Simcard details and other vital information via emails to [email protected].

    Why Do You Need To Get Your Simcard Properly Registered?

    Simcard registration is a very important part of the Telecommunication process, especially in Ghana.

    With the spate of mobile technology fraud activities going on, you need to ensure that your Simcard is properly registered so that in case of any Simcard problems or Mobile payment issues, you can always lay claims of ownership.

    You can’t claim a Simcard which bears a different registration detail aside from the one available on your ID card. It would be very difficult for you to do, even if you succeed.

    Conclusion

    In Ghana, the majority of us use sim cards on our mobile phones since mobile data is the largest form of internet access in the country.

    Aside from that, calls and text messages are usually done with our Simcards hence the proliferation of Simcard usage in the country.

    But, using your Simcard on a phone is not enough. You need to register your Simcard and make sure that it is properly registered in order to avert any future challenges which are likely to come your way by way of using your Simcard.

    In this article, I was able to take you through the steps involved in verifying your MTN Simcard registration details plus how to correct any errors associated with your registration.

    How to extend MTN bonus with just 1 pesewa (GHS 0.01) before it expires

    MTN Ghana is the biggest telecommunications network in Ghana, momentarily. Their Mobile Money service is also the biggest mobile payment and transact solution in Ghana right now.

    A lot of us use Mobile Money for a lot of stuff, among which is to buy credit for ourselves or family and friends. On MTN Mobile Money, you can only buy credit for MTN lines. If you look at buying credit for other networks with mobile money via USSD, check out MOVE or ALEXpay.

    MTN gives a 100% bonus on credit purchased with Mobile Money. This is a very good move, except for one annoying restriction – the bonus credit only lasts for 3 days.

    Take this scenario: You purchase GHS 50 worth of credit via MTN Mobile Money to activate one of MTN’s bundle plans. You are instantly given GHS 50 worth of bonus credit for MTN Calls and SMS. But this credit is for just 3 days. What are you going to do? Start calling everyone just to waste the credit? Well, you don’t have to.

    This little trick leverages MTN’s own 3-day limit to help you extend your bonus credit if you have not used it up. What’s more? it only costs you 1 pesewa (GHS 0.01) to execute the trick each time.

    How to extend your MTN Bonus Credit

    1. Dial the MTN Mobile Money shortcode on your phone – *170#
    2. Select option 3 – Buy Airtime
    3. Enter Amount, type 0.01 (this represents 1 pesewa or GHS 0.01)
    4. Enter your mobile number
    5. Confirm your mobile number
    6. Enter your pin number to confirm the transaction

    Once confirmed, you will receive GHS 0.01 worth of credit and your bonus credit will also be extended by 3 days. You can repeat the process every two or three days if you have a lot of bonus credit, to keep your bonus alive.

    Remember, you can only extend your bonus by up to 3 days. this means that doing the trick twice in one day does not mean you will get 6 days of bonus usage.

    • GTBank
    • Barclays Bank

    How to Withdraw MTN Mobile Money from ATM

    1. Dial *170#
    2. Select Option 5 for Financial Services
    3. Select option 1 for bank services
    4. Choose option 3 for ATM cash-out
    5. Choose option 1 to generate the token. Continue next steps on the ATM
    6. On the ATM, Choose Cardless Transactions
    7. Choose MTN Mobile Money
    8. Enter your generated code
    9. Enter your four-digit secret code (your PIN)
    10. Enter the amount of between GHS 5 to GHS 400
    11. Enter your PIN to authorize the transaction
    12. Wait to receive your money from the ATM

    This is really simple. However, be careful when withdrawing as some ATMs do not dispense 1 GHS and 2 GHS notes.

    To be on the safest side, always withdraw in multiples of GHS 10. For instance, instead of withdrawing GHS 223, opt to withdraw GHS 220.

    MTN Ghana has a lot of Data options available for almost every need. Although many people might say that their bundles are costly (and yes, they are), choosing some particular offers is usually beneficial over the others.

    I dread the GHS 3 bundle so much, especially now that you won’t get a bonus on it if you do not subscribe via the MyMTN App.

    For all those looking forward to tomorrow’s Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day holiday, MTN is giving you a good offer for browsing and streaking with all your family and friends.

    If you are going to be on the road, you can use this data to stream music on Spotify or YouTube. The mobile data has no restrictions at all. It’s the MTN Holiday/Special Day Bundle, and we will walk through how you can subscribe to it.

    2. Verify your MTN Phone number to sign in
    3. Enter the OTP to access the App
    4. Tap on the Buy/Send Tab
    5. On the Buy/Send tab, choose “Data.”
    6. Under subscriptions, tap on “Get 2.5GB of Data on Special Days.”
    7. Choose “Subscribe”
    8. You will receive a message showing that you have successfully subscribed to the Holiday/Special Days Bundle

    Conclusion

    This data bundle from MTN Ghana is worth it if you are primarily on your office’s wifi and will need a higher bundle pack for this holiday. Hopefully, there are more holidays/special days so we can get to enjoy this bundle more.
