The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the step-by-step guide for UTME and Direct Entry candidates to generate profile code and how they can purchase e-Pin for new and previously used phone number.
ALERT! Previously Used Numbers for JAMB Registrations can only be re-used by the same Candidate (Not another candidate)
A Previously Used Number is a GSM Telephone Number (SIM) used for Profile Code Creation, e-PIN Vending and Registration in Previous Registration Exercises. This can be used for the 2019 Registration ONLY BY THE SAME CANDIDATE.

The Candidate who is using his/her previous number for the second or third time will use the same profile code to purchase the new e-PIN.
If the Profile Code has been forgotten, the candidate can send RESEND to 55019 and he/she would recover the Old Profile Code.
In other words, the Old Profile Code can be used by the same candidate to procure the new e-PIN. No new profile code is required.
However, Candidate cannot change names by using CORRECT on this existing number as this Profile is already tied to the existing number (typically done before Registration)
Candidate can use the command UTMEPIN and DEPIN to retrieve 2019 UTME e-PIN after e-PIN purchase.
Candidate can register at any JAMB CBT Center with existing Profile (e-Mail, Telephone Number, Profile code) which cannot be changed.
Existing Profile or already used number cannot be transferred to another candidate.
NEW NUMBERS
New Numbers will follow the normal pattern of Registration as prescribed and advertised.
Candidates will be able to register as normal by sending their Surname, Firstname and Middlename to 55019
Candidates will be able to send CORRECT to 55019 in case of error before Registration
Candidates will be able to retrieve newly generated Profile Code by using RESEND.
Candidates will be able to Purchase e-PIN from any accredited outlet using newly generated Profile code as usual.
Candidates will be able to use UTMEPIN and DEPIN after purchase of e-PIN to retrieve lost e-PIN

I bought DE pin instead of UTME pin can I port my pin?
Please,I make use of the phone number I used for 2017 UTME to generate my profile code for this year,and I had already registered for 2019 exam but whenever I login to my JAMB profile,it shows my 2017 exam details which means my profile has not been upgraded for 2019 exam.ANY SOLUTION?
This same thing happened to me this year. I was told by the jamb officers to get a new sim and use it to get a new profile code. I have to repay the same amount I paid before.So get a new sim and do the same that means you are to pay the money again to activate your 2019 jamb page
