How do i change to a new pin if i forget my pin
Hi Treasure,
You’ll have to call up the MTN customer care service lines. It’s simply 180.
I’ve tried to change the default pin, by sending 0000 my new pin twice, eg 0000 4444 4444 to 777. But I keep getting a message that the default pin is wrong, & that I should send the proper default pin. If the Mtn default pin is 0000, which one is the proper default pin again? How do I know the proper default pin to my sim if its not 0000?
