How to Fix “No Response After Sending NIN to 55019” for JAMB 2025 Profile Code

Many JAMB 2025 candidates face the frustrating issue of not receiving a response after sending their NIN to 55019. Instead of getting their JAMB profile code, they receive a message saying:

“Your request has been received and is being processed, you will get a response shortly. The service will cost you #50.”

However, after waiting for hours, no further message arrives. Some candidates have even wasted over ₦200 in airtime without success.

If you are experiencing this problem, don’t worry. This guide will explain why it happens and how to fix it so you can get your JAMB profile code without wasting airtime.

Why Am I Not Getting a Response from 55019?

Several factors could cause a delay in receiving your JAMB profile code:

1. Network Congestion – During peak hours, many candidates are sending SMS requests at the same time, causing delays in processing.
2. Weak Network Signal – If your mobile network is unstable, the message may not be processed correctly.
3. Service Provider Delays – Some network providers experience internal delays in delivering messages.
4. System Processing Issues – JAMB’s system sometimes takes longer than expected to process requests, especially when there is high traffic.
5. SIM Card Issues – If your SIM is not linked to your NIN, JAMB may not be able to retrieve your details.
6. Insufficient Airtime – The SMS costs ₦50 per attempt, and if your balance is low, the request won’t be processed.

How to Fix “No Response After Sending NIN to 55019”

1. Send Your NIN at Midnight or Early Morning

Many candidates who faced this issue found that sending their NIN at night (between 12 AM and 5 AM) resulted in an instant response.

Why does this work?

• The JAMB system is less busy at night, reducing delays.
• There is less network congestion, so messages are processed faster.

📌 What to do:

• Set an alarm for midnight (12 AM).
• Send your NIN to 55019 using the correct format: NIN 12345678901
• You should receive your JAMB profile code instantly.

2. Check Your Network Signal and Try Again

A poor network connection can cause your request to be delayed. If you are in an area with low signal strength, move to a location with better network coverage before resending the SMS.

📌 What to do:

• Switch your phone to airplane mode for 10 seconds and turn it back on.
• If possible, try another network provider (MTN, Airtel, Glo, or 9mobile) if your SIM is not responding.
• Wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then send your NIN to 55019 again.

3. Ensure You Have Enough Airtime

Each SMS request costs ₦50, so if you have been trying multiple times, your balance might be too low. Some candidates reported that borrowing ₦100 or more before retrying helped them receive a response.

📌 What to do:

• Check your airtime balance (**dial *124# for MTN, *123# for Airtel, 310# for Glo, and 222# for 9mobile).
• If your balance is below ₦50, recharge at least ₦100 before sending the SMS again.

4. Try Sending the SMS from a Different SIM Card

If your SIM is not linked to your NIN, JAMB’s system will not recognize it.

📌 What to do:

• Try using another SIM card (MTN, Airtel, Glo, or 9mobile) that is linked to your NIN.
• Make sure the SIM has enough airtime before retrying.

5. Contact Your Network Provider for Assistance

If you have tried multiple times and still do not get a response, there may be an issue with your network provider.

📌 What to do:

• Call your network’s customer care service and explain that you are not receiving responses from 55019.
• Ask them to check if there is any restriction on your SIM card.

Network provider customer care numbers:

• MTN: 180
• Airtel: 111
• Glo: 121
• 9mobile: 200

6. Visit a JAMB CBT Center for Help

If none of the above solutions work, visit the nearest JAMB-accredited CBT center. The officials can help verify if:

• Your NIN is correctly linked to your phone number.
• There is an issue with JAMB’s system processing your request.

📌 What to do:

• Bring your NIN slip and phone number details to the CBT center.
• Explain that 55019 is not responding to your request.
