It is no longer news that MTN Nigeria acquired Visafone, all Visafone sim are now powered by MTN after a successful acquisition by Africa’s largest telecom service provider MTN. Visafone users are expected to migrate manually to MTN network.
Visafone customer migration is a simple process of migration that allows all Visafone numbers work on the MTN network and function as a GSM service. Are an existing Visafone subscriber? Below are the important points about what to expect from the migration exercise;
- You will be able to use your Visafone line everywhere there is MTN network coverage All Tarrif plan and data bundle will remain unique to Visafone
- You are not required to change your number. Your VISAFONE number will be retained on the MTN network
- The Migration process and New SIM Card are FREE of charge.
- Once migrated, you will not be able to use a Visafone recharge voucher. You will only be able to recharge with MTN vouchers using the code *555*voucher pin#.
- You will still be charged based on Visafone product and service tariff plans, remember you will retain your Visafone tariff and remains as Visafone line. Because Visafone was a CDMA network, you will need to replace your phone with a GSM phone (unless your old phone is compatible with both CDMA and GSM
- Your Visafone line should active on the MTN Network within 24 hours of migration

It is a good news to hear that finally, MTN has acquired Visafone.
Meanwhile for corporate customers or customers using PABX or IP PBX (intercom), we have GSM voice gateway (TERMINAL) devices that can enable you connect to your PABX/IP PBX using the new migrated MTN SIM card.
