How to Check BECE Results on Your Phone (Without Internet)
Short answer: there's no official service that texts your BECE results to you — but you don't need your own internet to check them. Dial *928*718# from any phone to buy a result checker, get the serial number and PIN by SMS, then log in at eresults.waecgh.org on any phone with data.
First, a quick myth-buster
A lot of people search for a way to get their BECE results by SMS. It's worth being clear:
- WAEC does not text your scores to you. Your results live on the official portal, eresults.waecgh.org.
- What does come by SMS is the result checker voucher — the serial number and PIN you log in with.
- Anyone promising to text you your actual grades is running a scam. See how to avoid fake result checkers.
The good news: you can do the whole thing from a basic phone, without your own data.
What you need
- Your BECE index number (from your registration slip)
- A BECE result checker — bought without internet, below
- Any phone to buy it; any internet-enabled phone (or an internet café) for the final log-in

Only the last step needs internet
Think of it as two parts:
| Step | Needs internet? |
|---|---|
Buy the checker via *928*718# | ❌ No — USSD works on any phone |
| Receive the serial number and PIN by SMS | ❌ No |
| Log in and view results at eresults.waecgh.org | ✅ Yes — but a small amount, on any phone |
If you have no data at all, borrow an internet-enabled phone or visit an internet café for that final log-in — your voucher works the same either way.
Already have data?
