Seeded question. The 9jah team wrote this question and its answer on 2 September 2026 to start the site. The answer was checked on that date, but prices and rules in Nigeria change, so add what you know or correct it below.
My line was blocked for no NIN link. How do I link it, and is there a fee?
Every network runs its own link path and there is no fee.
The safest route is the network's own app (MyMTN, Airtel Nigeria, Glo Cafe, 9mobile) or a service centre with your NIN slip. Each network also has a shortcode; MTN uses *785# and the others publish theirs on their websites. NIMC's NIN-SIM link portal also works.
Since 2024 the NCC has barred lines that are not linked, in phases. If your line is already barred you can still link it; service comes back within a day or two.
If the NIN on file has a different name from your SIM registration, fix the NIMC record first (a modification request at an NIMC centre), then relink.
Checked by the 9jah team on 2 September 2026. Corrections welcome.
