Frequently asked questions

Is MTN down right now?

MTN appears to be working normally — report volume is within the typical range for this time of day.

Why is MTN not working for me?

We're not detecting a broad MTN outage right now, so a problem is most likely local to you — your internet connection, device, or the app. Try restarting the app, then your router. If many people report the same issue, this page will update to show it.

When was the last MTN outage?

We have no recorded outages for MTN yet.

How do I report a MTN problem?

Use the “Report a problem” button on this page and choose what's not working. Reports are anonymous and update the live status and outage map in real time.

How does Outage.Report know if MTN is down?

We aggregate anonymous user reports and monitor public social-media posts, comparing live volume against MTN's normal baseline for the time of day and region to detect anomalies — often before they're officially confirmed.
