MTN Nigeria kicked off the new year by offering its subscribers free 4 Giga bytes of Data for internet browsing, social media access, downloads and video streaming. 

This bonus was given to draw some attention to MTN NG 4G/LTE services that ordinary subscribers are not aware of or interested in.

A lot of my friends have seen the free 4GB data balance on their mobile phones but cannot seem to use it after dialing required codes etc. 

In this post, we will go through a short checklist that will allow any MTN subscriber enjoy their 4000 MB Free data before it expires.


  • CODE TO CHECK FREE MTN 4GB LTE BONUS DATA
    No matter the tariff plan or mobile device you use. If you dial *559*444# you'll see the message:

  • Do you Have 4G/LTE Coverage in your Town or City?
    If you're not in a 4G/LTE Network coverage area, then it's a total waste of time continuing with any of the steps below because the free data only works on 4G/LTE network.
    To check if your City has coverage, visit the MTN Nigeria 4G coverage Map and enter the name of your City or State to see the Red and yellow Areas on the map.
    The usual 2G and 3G networks does not work with the 4GB Bonus
  • Is your SIM Card and Mobile device / Modem 4G/LTE compatible?
    The next step is to check if your MTN SIM Card is 4G enabled. Do this by sending a new SMS to 131. In the SMS message just type  4G and send to 131. You will receive a message about your SIM 4G/LTE ready status.
