MTN runs the?prepared secure MTN online account to enable its subscribers on the MTN Backup Service platform save(Backup) and restore phone and SIM contacts as well as their SMS.

The issue of ‘Am sorry, I lost your contact’ will no longer be an excuse, once your you register on the MTN Backup service, all your contacts saved in the SIM and phone will be moved to the MTN online account, where it remains save even?if anything goes wrong with your phone or SIM be it a case of theft or damage, and you get a new mobile device, you can recover all the contacts and SMS backup on the MTN backup service, Amazing right!

All MTN subscriber can backup up to 200 SIM and up to 5000 mobile phone contacts respectively, the MTN service provider also Bi-weekly(Every two weeks) automatically backs up all its subscribers contacts with the believe that an individual should have an updates to his/ her contact list at least once in two weeks, to me this is a great technology.

At times you may be an SMS pop up on your phone screen from MTN asking you if you would want to back up your contacts, if you have been ignoring, well no issues, peradventure now you wish to back up your SIM and phone contacts, I will list out two methods of doing that.

There are basically two ways you could register for the service.

  • send it to 307
  • wait for a response from MTN online account service

and wait for a response message, if you still find it difficult, you can call the MTN online customer assistant centre on 181 or 180.
