How to activate your sim/smartphone for Mtn 4G connection

It's no longer news that MTN now delivers 4G LTE services across Nigeria, thanks to successful acquisition of Visafone earlier this year.
However, the issue with using MTN 4G network which currently run on Band 7 (2600mHz) services is that MTN users need to swap their current SIM card with a 4G supported SIM from MTN office closest to you which is another bit of work on the customers side but not really a big deal when compared to the benefits of flexing the high speed network experience.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR SMARTPHONE IS COMPATIBLE WITH MTN 4G NETWORK
MTN have made it easier for you and me to check if our phones are compatible to receive the 4G services by introducing a new short message code and this is how it works;
•• Your Smartphone must have 4G network features
•• Now text 4G to 131
And you should receive an SMS instantly if your device is eligible
Yello! Your device is 4G ready but you need to upgrade your SIM to enjoy
