How To Activate Roaming On MTN Ghana

Travelling out of your country can be fun and also a very beautiful experience. With all the glamour that comes with it. However, it could become a great headache if you are new to a country and you are unable to get in touch with your relatives and friends back home.

This is mostly because you do not have access to a SIM Card from any of the Telecommunications networks available in your new country. So you try dialling a close relative’s number and you get that annoying beep sound. All your lines have turned to ‘Emergency mode’ and you are wondering what in God’s name is wrong with the network. Isn’t it supposed to be way better in a far advanced country as the one you’re currently in?

You are not far from the truth. But also, you may be mistaking. To save you this stress and headache, MTN has a special offer/feature to enable you to make calls from anywhere in the world using your MTN Sim.

Interestingly, Roaming services are automatic for all Prepaid MTN customers. Provided you are a prepaid customer, your phone automatically detects once you have moved out of the country.

So, in order to stay on the roaming service, the only thing you need to do is for you to buy as much airtime as possible on your MTN Sim card before you travel out of the Country.
