Direct answer

*138# is the MTN data bundle USSD in Ghana. Dial it on an MTN SIM to buy packs and to inspect remaining GB. If the phone has no data and the menu is slow — or you are paying from Telecel Cash / AT Money — use Ewale instead.

*138#

MTN SIM → dial *138# → internet / data. That is the operator path.

Any wallet, any network destination: *714*22# → Data. See MTN data bundles.

What *138# is for

  • Buy daily, weekly, monthly, social, and other MTN packs listed that day.
  • Read MTN data balance.
  • It is not MoMo. Wallet is *170#.
  • It is not airtime. Credit is *124#.

Bundle prices in Ghana move with promos, tax, and operator menus. Treat the GHS amount on Ewale confirmation as the price you are paying — not a screenshot from another site.

How to buy on Ewale

  1. Dial *714*22# or open Ewale data checkout.
  2. Choose Data and the recipient network (MTN, Telecel, or AirtelTigo).
  3. Enter the 10-digit Ghana number — yours or someone else’s.
  4. Pick the bundle. Read volume, validity, and price before you approve.
  5. Confirm Mobile Money with your PIN. Keep the SMS until the recipient SIM shows the new balance.

Do not pay a second time if the prompt hangs. Check the wallet statement first.
