International Roaming
As an MTN customer using either a prepaid or postpaid line, your phone is already set up to be used abroad. Roaming service is available by default on your MTN line.
There is no monthly fee, no connection fee and no deposit required before you can roam. However, the cost for making and receiving voice calls or sending SMS while roaming abroad depends on the country you are visiting.
MTN has partnered with 453 networks in over 171 countries to offer you international roaming and
the list is ever growing.
Click here to view countries you can roam with using your MTN (prepaid or postpaid) line.
Making and Receiving Calls and SMS while abroad
To call home from your roaming destination, simply dial the international prefix you are trying to reach (+) or (00) followed by the country code e.g. +2348031234567.
You can receive calls and SMS while you are roaming. If the caller is in Nigeria s/he can dial your number normally e.g. 08031234567 to call your line or send you an SMS.
If the caller is outside Nigeria or is also roaming, s/he has to use the international dialing format e.g. +2348031234567 when calling or sending you an SMS.
What to do before Travelling
- Confirm that MTN has a roaming partner in the destination you are travelling to.
- No activation is required to roam with your MTN line. Just recharge your phone to the tune of the credit you intend using while roaming.
