How To Unshare Data On MTN

Normally on MTN, you can’t share data when you have less than 250MB. MTN will stop sharing your data with your beneficiaries once you’ve exhausted your current data plan.

In other words, you can’t unshare data until your current plan is exhausted or below 250MB. So when you purchase a new MTN data bundle, the initially registered recipients cannot share in your newly purchased data except, of course, you add them up again.

However, you can still remove a beneficiary from MTN data sharing by simply dialling 1312# on your mobile device and press send. Just follow the popup instructions and that’s it.

Wrap on How to share data

Now that you know How To Transfer Data, don’t think that you can now just carry your phone and start sharing. There are some things you need to know. You must have enough data before you can qualify to share data with anyone. What am I even saying? You try transferring data without having any and see whether it will work!

Secondly, you need to know that you can share your data with people who use the same service provider as yours only. If you use Airtel like me, that means I can share data with other Airtel users only. The same applies to other networks.
