Why Am I Getting the “Unable to Charge [svc.err.net]” Error?
The “Unable to charge [svc.err.net]” error typically occurs due to the following reasons:
- Temporary network issues – Your mobile network provider (MTN, Airtel, Glo, or 9mobile) may be experiencing downtime or congestion.
- Poor signal strength – An unstable connection can interrupt the SMS request.
- Insufficient airtime – You need at least ₦50 to send the SMS, but sometimes, extra balance ensures success.
- System processing delay – The JAMB server may be slow in deducting the SMS fee.
- Too many attempts – Sending multiple requests in a short time may trigger a temporary block.
How to Fix the “Unable to Charge [svc.err.net]” Error
If you’re struggling with this error, try these proven solutions:
1. Wait a Few Minutes and Retry
Since this is mostly a network-related issue, waiting 5–10 minutes before resending the SMS often resolves it. Many candidates have successfully received their JAMB profile code after a short delay.
2. Ensure You Have Enough Airtime
Before sending the SMS again, confirm that you have at least ₦50 (preferably ₦100 for safety). Recharge your line if necessary.
3. Move to a Better Network Area
If your signal strength is weak, try relocating to an area with stronger network coverage before resending the message.
4. Restart Your Phone
A quick phone restart can refresh your network connection and resolve temporary glitches.
5. Avoid Sending Too Many Requests
If you’ve sent multiple messages in a short time, wait 10–15 minutes before trying again to avoid being blocked.
6. Use a Different SIM Card Linked to Your NIN
If the error persists, try using another MTN, Airtel, Glo, or 9mobile SIM that is linked to your NIN. Ensure the SIM is active and has sufficient airtime.
7. Visit a JAMB CBT Center for Assistance
