Are you having trouble with your MTN network? you’re not alone.
Many people face issues like slow internet or network interruptions, and that includes me too by the way
So, here’s a very simple guide to help you troubleshoot and fix MTN network problems and get your internet speed back on track.
Check Your Data Balance
Before i get into the complex solutions, let’s start with the basics.
Sometimes, slow internet can simply be due to a low or exhausted data balance. Dial *323# to check your data balance. If it’s low, consider buying a data bundle to keep surfing the Internet smoothly.
But if it has nothing to do with you exhausting your data bundle then you should try the following steps below.
Restart Your Device
This might sound too simple, but trust me, it works! Restarting your phone can solve a lot of network issues. Just turn off your phone, wait for a few seconds, and turn it back on. Sometimes, your device just needs a little break to reset things.
Switch Network Mode
If your internet is still slow, try switching your network mode. Go to your phone’s settings, navigate to ‘Mobile Networks,’ and switch between 3G and 4G. Sometimes, one network mode might be more stable than the other, depending on your location.
Check Network Coverage
MTN’s network coverage can vary from place to place. Make sure you’re in an area with good network reception. If you’re indoors, try moving closer to a window or going outside to see if that improves your signal.
Update Your APN Settings
Incorrect APN settings can lead to slow internet speeds. To check or update your APN settings, follow these steps:
- Go to ‘Settings‘ on your phone.
- Select ‘Mobile Networks‘ or ‘Cellular Networks.’
- Tap on ‘Access Point Names‘ (APN).
- Make sure the settings match MTN’s recommended APN settings.
Here are the MTN APN settings you might need:
- Name: MTN
- APN: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net

- Password: web
Contact MTN Customer Support
If you’ve tried everything and still face issues, it’s time to call in the experts. Contact MTN customer support by dialing 300 from your MTN line. They can provide more specific solutions and even check if there are any outages in your area.
