Easy Steps to Opt-Out of MTN Data Auto-Renewal with Image Guide (Updated with latest codes)

Have you been receiving the data auto-renewal message from MTN and looking for an easy way to opt out? In this very short and easy guide, I will show you how to opt out of MTN data auto-renewal with images to help you step by step.

MTN offers many data bundle packages and during the subscription stages, users are allowed to choose the one-time purchase or auto-renewal options.

I always choose the one-time purchase option as I may want to purchase a different bundle package in my next subscription.

However, I mistakenly clicked the option for auto-renewal. When the data finished, of course before getting to the end of the month as usual, I re-subscribed for a bigger data bundle package. Still, I kept receiving a message from MTN anytime I recharged my phone to subscribe to the previous bundle I mistakenly chose for auto-renewal.

It was frustrating, so I went to Google to search for how I could deactivate or stop the MTN data auto-renewal messages.

I was bombarded with the long process option, all first suggesting that I know the data code of the previous data plan, then sending a NO message with the plan code (e.g. NO + DATA PLAN CODE to network code).

For example; if the code of the data bundle was 106, I have to type NO106 and send it to 312.

This is not a problem, the stress here is finding or knowing the data plan code you previously subscribed to.

Without wasting your time, follow these simple steps to see how you can opt out of the MTN data auto-renewal option without knowing the plan code or sending any message.
