MTN Nigeria Communications Limited has introduced a self-help toll-free customer line through which subscribers can resolve their queries by following instructions given by a pre-recorded voice prompt. The line is called MTN Self-Service and it enables subscribers to resolve commonly asked questions free of charge.

Corporate Services Executive, Mrs Amina Oyagbola explained that the subscriber should dial 181, choose the menu option required, then listen and follow the voice prompt instruction.
She said that MTN Self-Service toll-free customer line 181 enables the customer to “request and gain specific information without speaking with a live agent.”

Oyagbola explained that the benefits of the MTN Self-Service to the subscriber are numerous. “Apart from the fact that the service is free, the MTN Self-Service gives quick and easy access to information and eliminates the long queue for customer service agents to attend to customers’ needs. In addition, it ensures fast and prompt resolution of simple and common queries and affords the opportunity to repeat information on the prompt of the subscriber.”

According to Oyagbola, “this service has been introduced to help address the difficulties our esteemed subscribers have been experiencing in lodging complaints with our customer service operations through the 180 customer care line. MTN is committed to improving customer service and has therefore resolved to put in place systems that would enable its subscribers enjoy seamless communications on its network.

MTN Self-Service 181 line should free up our customer-care agents to answer even more calls from our subscribers, thereby increase our answer rate and offer better customer satisfaction.”
MTN Self-Service 181 line complements the MTN Customer Service help line, which can still be accessed by calling 180 from an MTN line.
