*Request for MTN Data Settings etc.
To use the MTN Mobile Self-Care app, simply send an SMS with “Care to 5018. A URL with the link to download the app will be sent as an SMS to your phone.
Back then, it was a wonderful effort on the part of MTN to launch a self care app, but today almost every operator has one for its subscribers.
This is due to the increased use of mobile devices, faster connectivity, and rising expectations of users for an instant, hassle-free service. Telecoms enjoy a variety of benefits with these self care apps.
