Rwanda MoMo USSD Code: *182#

Forgot your MoMo PIN in Rwanda?
MTN Rwanda does not publish a self-service PIN-reset path on mtn.co.rw — the menu under *182# carries the account options, and beyond that the official routes are MTN Rwanda customer care or a service centre with your ID. Treat any third-party "Rwanda MoMo PIN code" instructions with suspicion.
*182# not working?
Wrong SIM. The code only answers on the MTN Rwanda 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 Rwanda service centre with your ID.
