The important thing is for you to know the USSD code to dial, know the rules and follow it.
Rules of Using MTN Callback
This service is limited i.e. not unlimited and not like a flowing river. To avoid this free feature from getting abused, MTN puts some measures in place, these rules and measures are listed below:
- The maximum number of ‘please call me back’ SMS you can send in a day is 5 within 24 hours.
- This means that for a week, you can only use it 35 times.
- Now, the rule does not say daily limit, it simply says 24 hours. For example, if you use your call me back SMS within 2 hours e.g. between 8am-9am, you will have to wait till the next day, starting from 8am. So it does not mean that it will last you till evening.
The rate of use is purely dependent on the rate of use!!
