Getting Started with Switchn

Download the Switchn app:


✅ Setting Up Switchn


  1. Open the Switchn app after installation.
  2. Enter your payer number (the number associated with your MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money account). Preferably, use your current WhatsApp number and choose "Sign in with WhatsApp". You are 100% guaranteed to receive your OTP code (unlike SMS which may delay), and can later contact our support directly via WhatsApp when necessary.
  3. Verification:
    • Automatic verification if WhatsApp or the SIM card is installed in your phone.
    • If WhatsApp or the SIM is not present, you'll receive a verification code via your WhatsApp account or SMS.
  1. Once verified, you are ready to use Switchn.



Note: If you are having issues setting up after installing, you can temporarily use Switchn's website to buy your airtime or activate a data bundle: https://switchn.net
