The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is a major academic milestone for Ghanaian students, and one of the first steps after results are released is checking your grades. To do this, you need a BECE Results Checker: an electronic voucher containing a unique Serial Number and PIN that you use to log in to the official WAEC results portal.
This article explains how to purchase a 2026 BECE Results Checker using the USSD shortcode *899*550#, and also covers other available shortcodes.
How to Purchase a BECE Results Checker Using *899*550#
The most reliable and widely used method for purchasing a BECE Results Checker in Ghana is through the shortcode *899*550#. This is a convenient option that lets you buy the checker directly from your mobile phone via Mobile Money, with no internet connection required.
Here is how to use it:
- Dial *899*550# on your mobile phone. This shortcode works on all major networks in Ghana, including MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo.
- Follow the prompts to select the option for a BECE Results Checker.
- Confirm the payment by entering your Mobile Money PIN when prompted.
- Receive your SMS containing your unique Serial Number and PIN. Save this message carefully, as it holds the credentials you need to check your 2026 results.
Other Shortcodes for Purchasing a BECE Results Checker
While *899*550# is a trusted and recommended shortcode, other vendors also offer results checker services through alternative codes. These can be useful if you experience any difficulties with the main shortcode:
- *789*444#
- *790*024#
Each of these follows the same basic process: dial the code, select the BECE checker option, and complete the purchase using your Mobile Money PIN.
How to Use Your BECE Results Checker
Once you have your Serial Number and PIN, head to the official WAEC results portal to view your grades:
- Visit eresults.waecgh.org on your phone or computer.
- Enter your Index Number, select BECE as the examination type, and choose 2026 as the examination year.
- Enter the Serial Number and PIN from your results checker.
- Click “Submit” to view your results. You can print or save a copy for future reference.
Note: A single BECE Results Checker can be used to view the same set of results up to three times. Keep your Serial Number and PIN in a safe place.
