Easy Steps to Unblock your MTN Sim Due to Unlinked NIN
If your MTN SIM card has been blocked due to failure to link your NIN (National Identification Number), you can unlock it online without visiting an MTN office.
This issue has affected even some users who have already linked their NIN. We have provided you two methods to unblock your MTN Sim Card below, make sure you follow the procedure correctly.
METHOD 1
Follow these steps to unlock your MTN line:
Step 1: Access the NIN Linking Portal

MTN NIN Linking Portal:
Step 2: Enter Your Phone Number and Email
- Type in your phone number.
- Provide an accessible email address.
- An OTP (One Time Password) will be sent to your email, not your phone number, since the line is barred.
Step 3: Enter the OTP
- Check your email for the OTP.
- Enter the OTP on the portal as quickly as possible. The code expires in 30 seconds.
- Ifyou did not receive the code, click on “Resend OTP” after 30 seconds.
Step 4: Enter Your NIN
- Input your NIN.
- The system will verify if your NIN is already linked. If it isn’t, you will be asked to provide additional data to link it.
- Additional data Required (if NIN is not linked):
1. Mother’s maiden name.
2. Last amount recharged.
3. Frequently dialed numbers.
METHOD 2
Or you can follow the second method below:
If you’re unable to get an OTP via the affected phone or email, dial *996*NIN# on the affected line and follow the instructions.

4. Your line will be okay after a successful confirmation.
And if you haven’t linked your line, that website will also help you do it and unbar your line.
