I have a new sim card, how do i know its 128k
Ezeani,
turn the back of the SIM card; it is written there. If you turn the back of the SIM card and 128K is not written there or any other number written, just know that the SIM card is likely to be 64K or 32K and it will not work. So, what you need to do is to go back to where you purchase the SIM card and tell them that you need 128K SIM card or SIM card for SIM SWAP.
how can i get all my contacts back, i lost my phone without backup ?
Dayo, you can’t get you contacts back if you do not backup

Hello Enoobong,
They can be 3 POSSIBLE reasons for this;
1. You new MTN card not up to 128k, 2.MTN Technical problem which will be restore later, 4. if the backup was not proper problem
Check the number that is written at the back of your new MTN SIM card, if it is not up to 128k. You will have problem restoring your MTN backup contact. All you need to do is SIM SWAP. Visit any MTN office close to you, tell them that you want do SIM swap. After the SIM swap, you will be able to restore your contacts.
