Cameroon MoMo USSD Code: *126#
The MTN MoMo code in Cameroon is *126# — MTN Cameroon's own help page says "Dial *126# and enter the MoMo Menu". Send money under 1 (including to other networks under 1 → 2), buy airtime under 3 → 1, and see balance plus recent transactions under 7 (My Account). Verified on mtn.cm, July 2026.

Forgot your MoMo PIN in Cameroon?
MTN Cameroon tiers the reset by balance. Under 2,000 F: dial *126#, option 4 "PIN forgotten". If you set a recovery contact beforehand (*126*7# then 00 — do it today), the self-reset completes from the menu. Above 5,000 F with no recovery contact set, the reset requires a branch visit with your ID.
*126# not working?
Wrong SIM. The code only answers on the MTN Cameroon network. On another operator's SIM it fails or opens a different service — every country and operator has its own code.
Roaming (abroad). Most roaming partner networks do not relay USSD sessions: the code fails or times out outside the country. Use the MoMo app over data/Wi-Fi. To send from Europe to a MoMo wallet, MoMo Homeland is an app — there is no diaspora USSD code.
Account not registered. A MoMo wallet must be registered (with ID) before the menu accepts transactions. If the menu opens but blocks you, visit a MTN Cameroon service centre with your ID.
