Activating your MTN MiFi 30GB free offer is pretty straightforward, but let’s walk through a detailed guide to ensure you get it done smoothly:
Requirements:
to be eligible for the 30GB data bonus, below are the requirements
- Brand new MTN MiFi device: This offer comes bundled with a new SIM card purchased together with the MiFi device. If you bought a separate SIM card, it won’t be eligible for the free 30GB.
- Registered SIM card: Make sure the SIM card that came with your MiFi is properly registered before proceeding. You can register it at any MTN store or authorized retailer with a valid ID.
Activation steps:
below is a guide on how you can activate it
- Insert the SIM card: Locate the SIM card slot on your MiFi device (usually under the battery or back cover) and carefully insert the SIM card.
- Power on the MiFi: Press the power button on your device. Once powered on, it should start searching for a network.
- Connect to the MiFi: Open Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone, computer, or other device and search for the SSID of your MiFi (usually printed on the device or back cover). Enter the password (also printed on the device) to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
- Check for data notification: You should receive an SMS notification from MTN about successful SIM registration and activation of the 30GB free data. You might also see a notification on the web interface of your MiFi device (check instructions in the user manual).
- Verify data balance: To confirm you have the 30GB data, dial 1314# on your phone connected to the MiFi network. Alternatively, you can access the web interface of your MiFi device to check data balance (refer to the user manual for specific instructions).
Troubleshooting:
incase you encounter any issue, this guide below will help
- No 30GB notification: If you don’t receive the notification after inserting the SIM and powering on the MiFi, wait for about 10 minutes. If it still doesn’t appear, send an SMS with the text “Activate” to 312 from your phone connected to the MiFi network.
- Connection issues: If you are unable to connect to the MiFi Wi-Fi network, ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on your device and re-enter the correct password. Check the user manual for troubleshooting tips specific to your MiFi model.
- Data not working: If you have confirmed the data balance but cannot access the internet, ensure your device is set to automatically connect to available networks or manually select the MiFi network. Restart both the MiFi and your device and try again.
Additional Tips:
- The free 30GB data has a specific validity period, usually 30 days after activation. Be sure to check the specific validity date in your notification or by dialing 1314#.
- Once the free data is exhausted, you can subscribe to regular MTN data plans for your MiFi device. You can choose from various plans offered by MTN through their website, MyMTN app, or by dialing specific USSD codes (consult the user manual or MTN website for details).
I hope this detailed guide helps you activate your MTN MiFi 30GB offer successfully. If you encounter any further issues, feel free to ask or reach out to MTN customer service for assistance
