*700#from your Telecel SIM. - Open the data bundle menu.

*505#. - Open the SOS credit service.
- Review the credit options.
- Check the repayment terms and any charges.

Transfer airtime: *516#
Dial *516# and follow the instructions to send airtime to another Telecel number. Check the recipient's number and the amount before confirming, and never share your PIN or account details with anyone.
If the person needs internet rather than call credit, sending a data bundle is often more useful, especially if they need it for classes, work or communication.

Dial *7070# to see the voice and data offers available to your number. Before you buy, check:
- how much data is included
- voice minutes, if any

Offers differ between customers, so a deal shown to someone else may not be available to you.
Telecel Cash: *110#
Telecel Cash is Telecel's mobile money service. Dial *110# to open the menu and follow the instructions.
Check SIM registration status: *400#
Dial *400# and follow the instructions. If the message says your registration needs attention, contact Telecel or follow the official instructions. Use official channels only for SIM issues.

An easier way to buy data for any network
USSD works, but it means dialling, navigating menus and typing numbers. It gets clumsier when you buy for people on other networks.
On Bundlif — a cheap data shop for MTN, Telecel and AT — you can:
- Choose the recipient's network and see supported bundles in one place
- Send data to anyone in Ghana by entering their number, whatever the distance
- Compare bundles by data, validity and price before you pay
- Pay online with Mobile Money or card
- Skip the menus — no codes to look up when you buy cheap data
Choose the right network and enter the recipient's number carefully before you pay. Bundles, prices and requirements can change.
Bundlif is an independent data reseller site and is not affiliated with Telecel Ghana.
Want codes for other networks? See our MTN short codes guide and AT short codes guide. And when you'd rather skip the menus entirely, purchase data online in Ghana on Bundlif — delivery to any supported number takes minutes.
