You just bought airtime on your MTN line and want to transfer the airtime to either your Glo line or the Glo line of a loved one, let me show you 3 ways that I have already tried on how to go about this.
I had to do this research when I could not surf the internet with my MTN data, and I needed to use my Glo line for data. However, I could not even buy airtime on my Glo line. At that moment, what I needed was to be able to transfer money from my MTN line to my Glo line.
While no direct USSD codes are available for this specific transfer, these alternative methods have been tested, so you don’t need to worry.
1. Selling The Airtime
One of the easiest ways to transfer your airtime is by selling it to another MTN user and then using the money to buy airtime on your Glo line. You can easily transfer your airtime to someone using an MTN line using the transfer code, *321#.
You must know your PIN for you to be able to transfer. If you have not transferred airtime before then you will need to change your pin from the default pin (0000) to a new pin. Getting an MTN user was easy for me as a lot of people use an MTN line.
2. Using Airtime to Cash Conversion Apps
Another way is for you to convert the airtime to cash and you can use some apps to carry it out fast and simple: Here are some of them below
- Prestmit
- Aimtoget Wallet
- Zoranga
- Recharge2Cash
- MINTYN Digital Bank
- Modelc
- GoSub
- Airtimeflip
- iPayAirtime
- Eazymobile
How to Use These Apps
- Download the mobile app from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS).
- Sign up on the app by providing the necessary information.
- Locate the “Airtime to Cash” option within the app.
- Select your network (e.g., MTN) and check the amount of money you can receive for your airtime.
- Follow the app’s instructions to transfer your airtime to the specified number or account.
- Once the conversion process is successfully completed, the cash will be credited to your bank account promptly.
- You can use the cash to buy airtime on your Glo line
The only issue with this method is that you will need to pay a particular fee depending on the app you are using for the conversion. I recommend this app if you are dealing with airtime from N10,000 and above, however, if it is not up to that then you can try the first method above.
3. Using TingTel App
You can use the swap airtime feature in the TingTel app Another method is by using the TingTel app.
Steps to Transfer Airtime
- Download the TingTel app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store.
- To create your account, you will need to put in your name, username, and referral code. You can use mine –
