Solutions To Issues In Sending NIN To 55019 & 66019 For JAMB Profile Code

To register for the 2022 UTME, candidates are required to create a profile code by sending their names to 55019 or 66019 first. However, I have noticed that some candidates are experiencing some issues in creating their profile code. This post explains some of the issues and how to resolve them.

SMS Sending Failed.

This is one of the issues some candidates have encountered while trying to send their NIN to 55019 or 66019 and create their profile code. The reasons for this could be one of the following:

Insufficient Airtime

Your Sim Is New

You are using Airtel or 9mobile (we noticed that many users of this network had issues)

Your sim cannot send messages.

You are using a SIM that someone else has used to create his/her own code

The Phone Number is not linked to your NIN

Inputting incomplete or wrong NIN to generate profile codes

Using multiple cell phone numbers to generate profile codes with the same NIN

Using special packages such as postpaid, promo bundles, Do Not Disturb (DND) which blocks delivery of profile codes to candidates

To resolve this issue, you first need to ensure that you have sufficient air time to send messages to have at least N50 airtime on your phone. Candidates have also complained that they were unable to register with a new SIM, so if your SIM card is a new one, ensure it is registered first and confirm it has been registered before using it.

If you have tried sending the message with an Airtel or Etisalat line, you should try an MTN or a Glo Line instead. You also need to make sure that the setting of your phone enables you to send SMS and no other person has used that same SIM for that same purpose.
