The Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has disclosed how subscribers can unblock their telephone lines.
The Star recalls that MTN, the largest mobile network in Nigeria with millions of subscribers, on Sunday, July 28, 2024, barred the telephone lines of scores of users.
Some of the affected persons alleged that MTN did so as part of efforts to frustrate the nationwide protest slated for Thursday over economic hardship in Nigeria.
The allegation was however debunked by ALTON via a statement on Monday, July 29, noting that the line barring was due to the subscribers’ failure to link their National Identification Number (NIN) with their mobile phone numbers.
It added that all operators have put in place measures to ensure that anyone whose line is blocked can unblock it by some steps.

ALTON listed the steps to include:
“In case these online steps fail, subscribers can physically visit any walk-in centres of operators, to unblock their lines,” ALTON noted.
