Activating MTN sms roaming when already abroad

[hellfire]

I forgot to do this before I left.
Does anyone know if it's possible to activate this from my foreign destination?
I don't see the option on MTN Active, but perhaps I don't know where to look

I had the identical problem, sorry I didn't find a way around it.

Everything I tried required a OTP which of course won't come through to the phone. Whatsapp was a lifesaver with free wifi everywhere.

Gmail works too.

Yeah, I had the same issue before. My sms roaming was buggy, so I thought I would switch it off and on again. Except once its off, you are out of MTN's range, so you can't message them back :| Have to do it before you leave the country.
