SMESHARE <PhoneNumber> <DATASIZE> <PIN>
Here’s a format to enter for <DATASIZE>
To know the correct “Datasize” code you need to send, here’s an example shared below. When sending a data size, you need to ensure you don’t add the MB and GB, for example:
1. If you want to share 250MB with a beneficiary, the datasize code is just: 250
2. 500MB → 500
3. 750MB → 750
4. 1GB → 1000.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Take note that you are ONLY allowed to share data in multiples of 250MB, 500MB, 750MB or 1GB. Sharing data in multiples of any other data sizes are not allowed in the MTN Network.

SMESHARE 08031234567 250 1234 = Correct Format!
SMESHARE 08031234567 200 1234 = Wrong Format → This is because you can’t share data of 200MB.
Can I share data sizes multiple times to the same beneficiary?
Yes, absolutely possible and this is the beauty of SME Data share plan. For example, if you want to share data of more than 1gb, you can easily share 1GB twice.
