Frequently Asked Questions:

Why Is JAMB Not Sending My Profile Code?

One of the difficulties some applicants have had sending their NIN to 55019 or 66019 and creating their profile code. One of the following explanations could be the cause:

1. Insufficient Airtime
2. Your Sim Is New
3. You use Airtel or 9mobile (we noticed that many users of this network had issues)
4. Your sim is unable to send messages.
5. You’re using a SIM card that someone else used to generate their own code on.
6. The Phone Number is not connected to your NIN.
7. Generating profile codes with an incorrect or incomplete NIN
8. Using multiple mobile numbers to create profile codes using the same NIN
9. Using unique packages like postpaid, promo bundles, and Do Not Disturb (DND), which prevents delivery of profile codes to candidates

Possible Solutions To The Above Problems

• You must first make sure that you have at least N50.00 worth of airtime on your phone in order to send messages in order to overcome this problem.
• As a result, if your SIM card is new, make sure it is registered first and that it has been registered before using it.
• Candidates have also complained that they were unable to register with a new SIM.
• Try an MTN or a Glo line if you’ve already tried sending the message using an Airtel or Etisalat line.
• Lastly, you must confirm that sending SMS is enabled in your phone’s settings and that the same SIM has not already been used for that purpose by another person.
