Imagine never worrying about airtime while chatting with your best friend or catching up with family. Sounds great, right? Well, if you’re using MTN Ghana, you can actually make free calls—yes, free! No tricks, no complicated hacks, just legit offers from MTN that let you talk without constantly reloading airtime.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to enjoy these free call offers in the simplest way possible. Whether you’re new to MTN or a longtime user, by the end of this article, you’ll know exactly how to call for free, just like a pro.

1. The MTN Free Call Offers

MTN Ghana offers two main ways to make free calls:

1. Magic Number (Akwaaba Offer) – Perfect for new SIM users, letting you call one special MTN number for free.
2. Free After One (Nkomode Offer) – Lets you talk for free to any local network after paying for just the first minute.

Both of these are straightforward to activate and can save you a lot of airtime. Let’s break them down.

2. Magic Number: Unlimited Free Calls to One Person

This offer is like having a ‘best friend’ number that you can call as much as you want—without paying a pesewa! But, there’s a small catch:

• You must be a new MTN Ghana SIM user.
• The free calls last for six months after activating your SIM.
• You can only pick one MTN number to call for free.

How to Activate the Magic Number Offer:

1. Dial *550# on your MTN number.
2. Select option 8 (More options).
3. Choose option 1 for “Magic Number.”
4. Select MTN Free Call Offer.
5. Enter the MTN number you want to call for free.
6. Done! You can now call this number free for six months.

Example: Let’s say you just bought a new MTN SIM and activated it today. You can add your mom’s MTN number as your Magic Number, and for the next six months, you can call her anytime without spending a cedi!

3. Free After One (Nkomode): Pay for a Minute, Talk for Longer

This is a fantastic option for everyone—not just new users. It works like this:

• You pay for the first minute of your call.
• After that, you get extra free minutes to continue talking.
• You also receive free mobile data to browse the internet.

There are two versions of this offer:

1. Free After 1 (FA1) – After paying for the first minute, you get 10 free minutes on that call + 70MB of data (valid for one day).
2. Free After 1 Extra (FA1 Extra) – You pay for the first minute after every 10 minutes, and in return, you get 60 extra free minutes + 70MB of data (valid for one day).

How to Activate Free After One (Nkomode):

1. Dial *550# on your MTN number.
2. Select Free After One.
3. Choose your preferred package (FA1 or FA1 Extra).
4. Confirm by selecting Activate.
5. You’ll receive a confirmation message, and the charge for the first minute will be deducted from your airtime.

Example: Imagine you’re calling your friend to catch up. You pay for the first minute, and suddenly, you get an extra 10 minutes for free. That means more time to chat without worrying about your balance running out.

4. Do These Free Call Offers Expire?

• Magic Number: Yes, it expires six months after you activate your new SIM.
• Free After One: No, this does not expire! You can keep using it as long as you stay subscribed to the package.

This means if you’re a new MTN user, you can enjoy Magic Number for six months and also use Free After One for as long as you want.
