Before we start on how to load 9Mobile recharge card, we need to discuss that anonymous lady who normally says “your call credit has been exhausted, and your call terminated”.
Once you hear this, you know it’s time to recharge. However, some users find it difficult to recharge using a card these days. This is because virtually everybody now relies on their banks’ mobile code (USSD) or app before even bothering to go buy recharge cards from vendors.
Yes, we know it’s easier, but there are times when the bank isn’t reliable. You could be faced with bad service amid an emergency that requires making a phone call. One could have a phone issue or even a ‘red’ account balance, and then you stumble on a forgotten 500 naira inside one of your trousers.
I know, right! One of the happiest moments in a typical Nigerian’s life that never enters our secondary school compositions. The only problem now is that you’ve forgotten how to load a recharge card.
The first thing we start doing is to try hard to remember the code to recharge our ‘miraculous card’ with. And that’s when this article becomes your messiah.
The article explains how you can load a 9Mobile recharge card and enjoy the benefits that come with being a 9Mobile customer.

How to Recharge Your 9Mobile SIM Card
Like other network providers, 9Mobile provides an easy way to carry out some actions on their network from the comfort of your home. There are steps to take, but they are so simplified that even a child can get it right, after all, nobody wants to deal with extra stress.
To recharge your 9mobile SIM card, follow the procedures below:
- Purchase the 9Mobile recharge card. You’re probably thinking, ‘duh, who didn’t know that?’ well, just in case you get sold a different recharge card by mistake, make sure to change it because you can’t recharge airtime from another network provider on your 9Mobile sim card.
- Most network providers, including 9Mobile, produce cards in two types, the paper type and the scratch card type. Usually, scratch card type begins at 1000 —but now that I think about it, it’s been long since I saw one of those scratch card types— and with the scratch card, all you have to do is scratch off the seal gently. This means that you shouldn’t use a sharp object or apply too much pressure when scratching the card. If you’ve got the paper type and it’s pinned, carefully remove the pin to prevent tearing off the numbers.
- On your phone’s call app, dial the USSD code, *222*rechargepin#, using your 9mobile sim card. For example, dial *222*2468101214161820#
- After dialling the code, your 9mobile sim card will be credited with the value of the card. You might get a success message, but if not, check your balance to be sure you’ve been credited.
- Dial *232# to check your balance and confirm.
If it happens that you’ve not been credited, check the card and try again. However, it’s not advisable to try more than 3 times because your line will be barred from recharging for about 24 hours if you try one recharge pin up to 5 times.
Another option available to you is to recharge your sim card online.
