Migrating to This Bonus Plan

We have come to the main section of this blog post on how to migrate to Airtel Smart Connect.

We know you might have been wondering, “How do I know if I am eligible to migrate to Airtel’s Smart Connect Bonus Plan?” Well, there’s no need to wonder anymore, as Airtel SmartConnect is for all Airtel Prepaid users. Both new and all prepaid users are eligible to use Airtel Smartnnect.

We will show you how to sign up for the Airtel Smart Connect Bonus Plan as a new user on a new Airtel SIM as well as how to migrate on your old sim.

Getting Started On Airtel smart Connect on a New SIM

Kindly note that Airtel Smart Connect is the default plan you get when you buy a new Airtel sim. Here is all you have to do to get your new SIM activated:

1. Purchase a new Airtel SIM from any Airtel retail store

2. Register your SIM at any Airtel  KYC(Know your Customer) registration station

3. Put the SIM card in your phone.

To begin receiving SmartCONNECT benefits and bonuses, simply recharge with a minimum of N100 using the code *126*PIN#. Viola! Viola! Your Aitel smart Connect bonus plan has been successfully activated.

That’s all for a new sim. If you are an old subscriber of Airtel, you can skip all these, but make sure you are an Airtel prepaid user. Once you have this in place, the next section is for you.

Migrating from an Old Airtel SIM using USSD

This USSD short code process may seem lengthy, but we want to make sure you are aware of all the other options you have for switching from your current SIM to Airtel Smart Connect. You can use this USSD code by following these steps. 

1. Dial *121# on your phone.

2. Select option 2, for the “Billing & Tariff” option.

3. Choose option 1, which is “Smart Connect.”

4. You will receive a pop-up message that shows that you have successfully migrated to Airtel Smart Connect

You also get this text message when you use the other shortcodes mentioned above. That’s all you need to do to migrate to Airtel Smart Connect on your old Airtel SIM. 

Note: This is for those who are on a different plan like Smart Trybe, Smart Talk, or any plan other than Smart Connect. If you are already on the plan by default, you will see a pop-up message with instructions on how to add your Friends and Family (FAF).

Alternative USSD Shortcode

You can also use a shortcode to migrate to Airtel Smart Connect on your old sim. All you have to do is dial *311*1# on your phone’s dialer app and press the call icon. You will be migrated to Airtel Smart Connect immediately.

Or simply dial *311# and select 1 in the dialogue box that appears on your phone screen. If you don’t receive the migration text message, kindly note that you are already on the Smart Connect plan.

Additionally, we suggest using the first USSD method of calling *121#, even though it takes longer but is a trusted approach, just in case you run into any issues while using this.

Also, note that this Airtel Smart Connect shortcode above can be used on both old and new SIM cards.  You can use this shortcode to migrate back to Smart Connect if you discover that your new SIM has you on a different plan.

How to Check your Voice and Data Bonus Balance 

After migrating to Airtel Smart Connect and recharging your line, you can check your voice and data balances by dialing *123# to check your main balance and the bonuses.

To check your Bonus Balance dial *123*1#. To check your Voice Bundles balance dial *123*2#( You will receive an SMS with your Bundle Balances shortly)

How to Add Family And Friends (FAF) on Airtel Smart Connect

Remember one of the benefits mentioned about Family and Friends(FAF)? Airtel smart Connect gives you the opportunity to stay connected with your friends and family. You can add up to 10 contacts(which is the limit) of your loved ones. The amazing part of this benefit is that you get bonuses to call your friends and family whenever you make a recharge.
