Zambia MoMo USSD Code: *115#

The MTN MoMo code in Zambia is *115# — named in MTN Zambia's own MoMo terms and conditions as the USSD channel alongside the app. MTN Zambia publishes the code but not a step-by-step menu map, so follow the on-screen options for balance, send and cash-out. Verified on mtn.zm, July 2026.

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 Zambia?

MTN Zambia's MoMo terms are explicit: to restore access, use the self-PIN-reset option on the *115# USSD menu, visit the nearest MTN service centre, or call support on 303. If the menu's reset option doesn't appear, the service-centre route with ID is the fallback.

*115# not working?

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

Frequently asked questions

What is the MoMo USSD code in Zambia?
Dial *115# from a MTN Zambia SIM to open the MoMo menu. The code is verified on mtn.zm (July 2026). It only works on the MTN Zambia 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 Zambia before you dial, use our calculator — codes live here, fees live on the fee page, and the two are linked.
