Easy Steps to Opt-Out of MTN Data Auto-Renewal with Image Guide

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 and when the data finished, of course before getting to the end of the month as usual (data in the country is very slow yet exhausts as fast as you purchase them), I re-subscribed for a bigger data bundle package but I kept receiving a message from MTN anytime I recharge my phone to subscribe for the previous bundle I mistakenly choose for auto-renewal.

It was frustrating, so I went to Google to search for how I can deactivate or rather 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 to 131 (NO + DATA PLAN CODE to 131).

For example; if the code of the data bundle was 106, I have to type NO106 and send to 131.

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.
