How to Send a ‘Please Call Me’ on MTN in South Africa

Please Call Me on MTN in South Africa

So, you’re out and about, and your phone battery is running low, or maybe you’re just out of airtime, but you really need someone to call you back. That’s where the “Please Call Me” feature on MTN comes in handy! It’s like sending a quick, friendly tap on the shoulder saying, “Hey, can you give me a call when you get a chance?”

Here’s how you can send a “Please Call Me” on MTN in South Africa:

  1. Open your phone dialer – the place where you make calls (don’t worry, it’s not hard to find!).
  2. Type in this code: *121* followed by the phone number of the person you want to reach. For example, if you want to ask your friend with the number 0834511923 to call you, you’d dial *121*0834511923#.
  3. Hit the call button – like you’re calling them, but it’s really just sending a request for them to call you!
  4. That’s it! The person you sent it to will receive a message saying “Please Call Me” with your phone number. Easy, right?

Just keep in mind, you can send up to 5 “Please Call Me” messages on MTN every day. So if you’re out of airtime a few times in the day, you’ve got a bit of room to work with.

And just like that, you’ve sent a simple request asking for a call back—no airtime needed, just a little tap on the digital shoulder! Simple, right?

Now you’ve got this down, and you’re ready to stay connected—no matter where you are or what’s going on with your phone.
