How you can Deactivate Do-Not-Disturb (DND) on your MTN, Airtel, Glo or 9mobile number in Nigeria

There have been several complaints, since the implementation of Do-Not-Disturb (DND) in July 2016, by the GSM subscribers across all GSM networks. Most of the GSM subscribers had DND activated on their numbers by the GSM service providers without their consent which makes it impossible for them to receive bulk SMS text messages from any bulk SMS platform. That is what actually complicated the issue.

 

In most cases, subscribers attempt to deactivate DND on their numbers with the normal codes provided by GSM operators proved abortive mainly because the system returns a response saying the number is not on DND. In such a situation, the next step to take is to personally activate DND and then deactivate DND on the number(s) in question.

 

Here is a list showing DND Deactivation codes for all the GSM networks in Nigeria.

For 9MOBILE (OLD ETISALAT) - START to 2442
