In March this year, the Nigerian Communications Commission ordered telecommunications operators in Nigeria to start implementing integrated shortcuts for all mobile services. This means that all mobile internet users will use the same code for the same service.
The implementation of these short cuts will begin on May 17, when all the old codes used to recharge, sign up for data, and check the balance will stop working, and something else.
Until now, each mobile operator had his own code for checking balances, reloading, crediting, etc.
However, the combination of shorts is about creating the most common shorts used by customers who wear them on all websites. For example, the code for reloading a line is the same on all mobile networks.
