What is different in Liberia

The Liberia wallet is dual-currency: it holds US dollars and Liberian dollars side by side, with MoMo Forex (*156*8#) converting between them. Fee maths here is in both currencies — check the fee page before moving large amounts.

What you can do with *156#

Task	Code
Open the MoMo menu	*156#
Bank transfers (push-pull)	*156#→ 7 (per lonestarcell.com)
Activate bundles	15619#
Manage account / MoMo Forex	1568#USD↔LRD conversion inside the wallet
Check balance	*156#via the menu — free per the MoMo tariff page

Menu paths follow the current screens — if a label moved, follow the on-screen wording rather than a memorised path.

Forgot your MoMo PIN in Liberia?

Lonestar Cell MTN's tariff page confirms PIN changes are free, but publishes no step-by-step reset. Use the *156# menu's Manage Account options; failing that, the official channels are the MoMo support line 3734 or contactmomo@mtn.com — with your ID ready.

*156# not working?

Wrong SIM. The code only answers on the Lonestar Cell MTN 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 Lonestar Cell MTN service centre with your ID.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MoMo USSD code in Liberia?

Dial *156# from a Lonestar Cell MTN SIM to open the MoMo menu. The code is verified on lonestarcell.com (July 2026). It only works on the Lonestar Cell MTN network — on another SIM it does nothing or opens a different service.

Why doesn't the code work when I'm abroad?

USSD travels over your home operator's signalling network. While roaming, most partner networks do not relay the USSD session, so the code fails or times out. Use the MoMo app over Wi-Fi/data instead — or, to send from Europe to a MoMo wallet, the MoMo Homeland app (app only, no USSD).

Does the USSD code work without internet?

Yes. USSD runs over the cellular network, not mobile data. Balance, send and cash-out work on any phone with no data plan — that is the whole point of the USSD channel.

Does this code show MoMo fees?

The menu shows the fee when you confirm a transaction, but not the full price grid. To compare send and cash-out fees in Liberia before you dial, use our calculator — codes live here, fees live on the fee page, and the two are linked.
