Top MTN Ghana Short Codes That You Need
When it comes to the best telecommunications in Ghana, MTN is the leading telecommunication network in Ghana with over 17 million subscribers.
MTN has so many offers that have made Ghanaians fall in love with their service.
You might have heard of a certain offer that this telecommunication will be offering and will want to subscribe to this offer but you might not know how exactly it works and also the shortcode for subscribing
In this article, I am going to take you through the top MTN Ghana shortcodes and the offer or purpose behind it
MTN Nkomode – *550#
The MTN Nkomode also known as ‘free after one’ is an offer that was launched in 2, November 2018 and it has been active till now.
This service allows you to make calls and only pay for the first minute of the call and then the rest of the call becomes free, you will be charged 30.4 pesewas and also get free 50MB, in addition, to be used before the next day.
How to susbcribe to MTN Nkomode
- On your phone dial *550#
- Choose Option 6 (Free after 1)
- Select 1 to activate
- Select 1 again to confirm
What users have to take note about this offer is that, when you activate it, you only pay for the first 1 minute and the rest is free so if you subscribe and make a phone call that does not last up to a minute, you will not be charged 30.4p, also when you make a phone call and it last for 2 minutes, you will be charged 30.4p.
Although MTN has made it known to us that it is free after 1 and you only pay for the first minute, that does not mean you can make a phone call for 5 hours and still pay for 30.4p but rather each call will last for 1 hour and then the call will end and you will be charged only 30.4 pesewas.
MTN Jaara – *5055#

To activate for this offer dial *5055# and then confirm, after that you will be charged 50 pesewas and then you can start making free calls the rest of the day.
MTN Pay For Me – 154 Before The MTN Number
There might a time that you might want to talk to somebody but you don’t have credit, or you were in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden your credit got finished and you still want to continue the conversation.
MTN has also thought of that, and because of this they introduced MTN Nkomode, with this service, users can make a call without even having a credit but request the receiver to accept the call and pay for the call.
To make a ‘pay for me’ call first dial 154 before the receivers number so if you want to call 0244300000, you will dial 1540244300000 and the call will go through, when the person you called receives the call he or she will be prompted to either press 1 to accept the call and pay for it or press 2 to decline.
If the receiver accepts it, then both of you can have a conversation but at the end of the call, the receiver will be charged.
