Airtel *444# – One Code, All Banks

If you are like most Nigerian mobile phone users, you probably have to memorize various airtime/data codes to recharge airtime and buy data bundles. The situation is even worse because not only does every network have their codes, but also every bank has their unique codes. There is definitely a need for a single code that can serve for all banks. Airtel saw this need and provides the Airtel *444# – one code that serves for all banks.

What is Airtel *444#

Airtel *444# is an Airtel USSD code that can be used to buy data bundles, airtime and other voice bundles directly from your bank account, irrespective of the bank you use.

This makes the *444# code not only a smarter way to purchase airtime and data but also a better and more efficient way. Furthermore, you don’t even need to pay any USSD charge for these purchases and you definitely do not need an active data bundle or a smartphone for it.
