Have you ever wanted to send some of your mobile data to a friend or family member on MTN? Maybe your sibling ran out of data while streaming their favorite show, or your best friend just needs a little extra for WhatsApp. If you’re wondering how to transfer data from MTN to MTN in Ghana, here’s the deal—you can’t. But don’t worry, there’s still a way to help!

Wait… MTN Data Transfer Isn’t Available?

That’s right. MTN Ghana no longer allows direct data transfers between users. It might sound disappointing, especially if you’ve done it in the past, but MTN has made sure there’s still a simple way to share data with others. Instead of transferring, you can buy data bundles directly for someone else. It works just as well, and the best part? It’s super easy.

How to Buy Data for Another MTN User in Ghana

Think of it as buying airtime for someone, but instead, you’re sending them data. Whether your friend needs a small bundle for a quick internet check or a big package for heavy browsing, here’s how you can do it:

Method 1: Using USSD Code (138#)

This is the fastest way to send data. Just follow these steps:

1. Dial *138# on your phone.
2. Select “Proceed to Buy Bundle.”
3. Choose “Buy Data Bundle.”
4. Select option 2 to buy for someone else.
5. Enter the recipient’s phone number and confirm it.
6. Pick the data bundle you want to buy.
7. Confirm your selection.
8. Choose your payment method (MoMo or airtime balance).
9. If you’re using MoMo, enter your PIN when prompted.
10. You’ll receive a confirmation message once the purchase is successful.

Easy, right? Now, your friend has data, and they can keep browsing without interruption!

FAQs About MTN Data Transfers

1. Can I transfer my MTN data bonus to another user?
