Message Sending Failed? List of All Network Centre Numbers

Oscar FrankBy Oscar Frank1 Min Read

Well, I’ve been there.

I know how frustrating it can get when you try sending an SMS and you keep getting that annoying “Delivery Failure” notification. 🙁

There are definitely a couple of factors that usually result to this of which a wrong Message Center number is a major culprit. Most times your messages do not get delivered, it’s as a result of your message center number been tampered with (i.e replaced with a wrong one). In this post I’ll get you the various message center numbers for the top 4 Nigerian network providers, viz: MTN, Airtel, Etisalat and Glo.

Nigerian networks message center numbers

  • For MTN Message Centre Number is +234803000000 and Centre Name is MTN
  • For Airtel Message Centre Number is +2348020000009 and Centre name is Airtel
  • For Etisalat Message Center Number is +2348090001518 and Centre name is Etisalat
  • For Globacom Message Centre Number is +2348050001501 and Centre name is Glo

How Do I Use These?

Next time you SMS fails to deliver, check your Message settings and make sure your providers center number appropriately matches the correct one above.

Do let me know if this post was useful.

    Is there any way to sanction mtn for illegally collecting my mony?

    • Oscar Frank on July 1, 2018 9:52 am

      Go get a lawyer I guess. You could call in their customer lines to have the issue resolved all the same.

  28. Dpo on March 20, 2017 5:07 am

    Hello Oscar, my message center number is correct. But sometimes message sending fails and SOMETIMES I don’t receive messages sent to me

    • Oscar Frank on July 1, 2018 9:53 am

      If it happens occasionally, it might be from your device and not the centre number

  38. OGUNDARE OLUSEGUN on September 4, 2017 10:41 am

    Yes, it was quite helpful for etisalar when I checked it, bbut The name of etisalat has been changed. In case there is alteration in the centre name, I hope it would reflect here.
    Thanks.

    • Oscar Frank on July 1, 2018 9:51 am

      Sure thing Olusegun

  39. Stephen on September 9, 2017 5:45 pm

    Thanks, it works. But because i send message to many staff at once I just had to port to something that support mass messaging at once.

    I just signed up for sending bulk SMS for organisation and regular text messages account on ediarosms . I choose any name I want to show on the receiver’s phone and it is cheaper than the standard SMS on your phone.

  40. Jim on October 1, 2017 9:26 am

    I cannot locate where to change the numbers with my Tecno T605

  44. Nsikak Thompson on November 26, 2017 9:34 pm

    I included the centre number for glo but I still can’t send messages. What should I do?

    • Oscar Frank on July 1, 2018 9:58 am

      If you’re sure you put in the correct numbers and yet couldn’t get to send an sms, your best bet would be to call the customer service lines of your carrier. They should have you fixed within minutes Thompson.

    • Oscar Frank on July 1, 2018 9:57 am

      Call the customer care lines of MTN Esther. They should fix your issue since it’s just to their short service numbers that get the error.

  54. ESTHER Amalime on May 12, 2018 11:54 am

    I’ve done that, but I still get failed messages while replying to network numbers such as 131
