Direct answer

To check MTN data balance in Ghana, dial *138# from the MTN line and open the data / internet section. Mashup users also use *567*4#. The meter that matters is the SIM that received the bundle — not the phone that paid.

Buy on Ewale

USSD — Dial *714*22# → Data. Works with no internet when the bundle is already at zero.

Online — Ewale data checkout. Pay with MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, or AT Money. Validity and GHS print on the confirm screen before PIN.

Balance is empty? Buy an MTN data bundle on Ewale without waiting for MyMTN to load.

MTN data balance codes

Code What it shows
*138# Main internet menu — remaining bundle, buy more
*567*4# Mashup data balance
*124# MTN airtime balance — not GB

If *138# says zero but you just paid, wait for the SMS, then check again. Do not buy a second pack until MTN MoMo (*170#) history shows whether the first debit landed.

After an Ewale purchase

Ewale credits the destination number. Dial the balance code on that handset. A parent paying from Accra will not see the student’s GB on their own *138#.

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.
