Also, remember in 2016 to be precise, the Telecom operator recharge card digit number was just 12-digit, which was then increased to 16-digit and now, 17-digit. We just hope we will not be counting 20-digit by 2020.
IS THE FORMER 16-DIGIT PIN STILL USABLE?
Of course, the old 16-digit vouchers is still usable and valid at least for now. MTN customers will continue using the old PIN until this new PIN completely takes over.
I'm sure it will now be a herculean task for people to decipher the right recharge card PIN code for those that has the habit of trying to deceive MTN.
