How To Check If Your SIM Is Registered

These are steps to follow to check if your MTN,
Airtel, Etisalat or Glo SIM card has been
registered officially by your Network. It can
befrustrating registering with this road-side kiosks
claiming to register every SIM from every
network. I’ve been a victim before and I couldn’t
go back to them to confront them when I hadn’t
got a proof that it has not been registered. After
some digging anyway, I got the solution to check
if your SIM has been registered and recognised by
your network.
Some networks like Glo and Etisalat (in my case)
do sent message from time to time to remind me
to register my SIM card before I finally did. I don’t
know if they still do that though. If they still do, it
would be easy to tell after 24 hours of registering
your SIM and you still get messages from them.
You don’t have to wait for this anyway with the
tips I’m going to give you here!

•How to check if your MTN is Registered
Send REG as a message to 789. After sending the
text to 789 with your MTN SIM card, you will get a
reply confirming that you have been registered if
it was actually registered, otherwise, you get a
“not registered” message.
If your sim have been registered, you will
get a service message saying:
2348031231565 has been registered. Thank
you!
2348031231565 is your phone number!

•How to check if your Airtel SIM card has
been Registered

been registered as at the time of writing this post
is by calling 111 on your phone or by sending an
email to customercare@ng.airtel.com
