N.B. There should be no space in the message
The WAEC SMS Result Checking Service will cost you #30 per SMS and is available in the following service providers; Glo, MTN, and Airtel.
Please note that you can check your WAEC result with your scratch card at most 3 times. After this, the scratch card will expire.
It is therefore important for you to save the result (you can download the page if you are making use of your mobile phone and you can save the page if you are using a PC) in order to avoid purchasing another scratch card.
It is also advisable that you have a printed version with many duplicates safely stored away for future use.
Also, if you discover that the WAEC page is not loading, know that it could be either your internet connection is not connecting properly (if this is the situation, you either change your service provider or your geographical location) or it might be as a result of the high traffic to the result checking site.
Either way, give it some time and try again.
