You might have noticed that the shortcodes for each network are the same. This is because last year, the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) released a list of harmonized shortcodes. This change makes it easier for everyone to remember and use important services, no matter which network they use. The NCC's decision helps make mobile services simpler and more user-friendly for everyone in Nigeria.
