An MTN data bundle is a pack with a size and a validity window. Buying airtime and hoping it becomes data will not attach a bundle. Use the data menu.
Payments happen on Ewale (ewalepay.com or *714*22#), not on this blog.
What you need
- The MTN number that should receive the bundle.
- The pack you want — daily, weekly, or monthly as shown on the menu.
- Wallet balance that covers the pack price on the confirmation screen.
The flow on *714*22#
- Dial *714*22#.
- Choose Telco → Data bundles → MTN.
- Enter the number, then pick the bundle from the list.
- Confirm size, validity, amount, and number.
- Approve the MoMo PIN.
After you pay
The bundle sits on that MTN line. Ask the person to toggle data off and on if it does not show immediately. Do not buy a second pack while you wait two minutes.
If something fails
- Bought airtime by mistake: That sale is airtime. Buy data as a new transaction on the data row.
- Bundle not showing: Wait, then check 1311# or the MTN balance USSD before repeating.
Data and airtime are different products on the same shortcode. Pick the row that matches what you want to land on the SIM.
