Sent “UTMERESULT” to 55019 But Got No Reply? Here’s What to Do

Several candidates have reported issues checking their 2025 JAMB UTME results via SMS, with one common problem being that no response comes after sending “UTMERESULT” to 55019. One such case is from Akolade Mustapha, who shared:

“I sent UTMERESULT to 55019, but got no reply.”

If you’re also facing this issue, don’t panic. This is a common problem, and in most cases, it can be fixed with the right steps.

Here’s what you need to do if you’ve sent the correct SMS command but got no reply from JAMB:

1. Check the Phone Number You’re Using

Make sure you are sending the SMS from the same phone number you used to register for JAMB. If you use any other line, JAMB will not recognize your details, and you won’t get any response.

If you’re not sure which number you registered with, check your JAMB registration slip.

2. Ensure You Typed the Message Correctly

You must type UTMERESULT exactly like that — all capital letters and no space.

Correct:

UTMERESULT

Wrong Examples:

utme result  
UTME Result  
UTMEresult  

JAMB’s SMS service is case-sensitive and does not recognize other formats.

3. Make Sure You Have Airtime

You need at least ₦50 airtime on your phone to send the SMS successfully. If your balance is too low, the message won’t be processed, even if it appears sent.

4. Check Your Network Connection

Some mobile networks may delay or block outgoing SMS temporarily due to signal issues. Try switching your phone to airplane mode and back, or restarting your phone before trying again.

Also, make sure you’re using one of these supported networks:

• MTN
• Airtel
• Glo
• 9mobile

(If you are using a SIM that has been inactive for a while, consider switching to another line that was used during registration.)

5. Try the Alternative Number (66019)

If you sent your SMS to 55019 and got no response, try sending the same message to 66019 instead. Both numbers are approved by JAMB, and either one should work depending on your network’s routing.

6. Wait and Retry Later

Sometimes JAMB’s server may be busy, especially during the first 24–48 hours of result release. If you’ve followed all the steps above and still get no response, wait a few hours and try again. Avoid sending the message repeatedly within a short time.

Final Note

JAMB has confirmed that the SMS method is the only way to check the 2025 UTME result. The online result portal is currently not in use, so avoid wasting time on websites or cyber cafés claiming otherwise.
