How To Deactivate Airtel Pay As You Go ( PAYU)
Are you looking for how to stop airtel from deducting your money when you are browsing? are you sick and tired of having your airtime wiped out by airtel for the so-called pay as you go service?
Don’t get me wrong, airtel PAYU / PayG can be useful sometimes but can cost you money. Or should I say airtime when you do not know how to opt-out from it?
Normally, mobile network providers will not touch your airtime when browsing even though you have exhausted your data plan. But the airtel pay as you go or PAYU will usually start deducting your money the moment you exhaust your data plan.
As you know, browsing with airtime can be expensive at N3/MB, and with the way mobile devices these days use data, you can wipe your entire airtime on your mobile phone on PAYU without even realizing it.
How To Stop Airtel Pay As You Go
There are actually two ways you can achieve this, the first is by using a USSD code
Airtel Pay as you go or PayU can be stopped or deactivated by dialing the code *400*1#. After dialing this code, you will receive a response from airtel that reads
You have successfully unsubscribed from Airtel free surf offer.
The second method involves subscribing to an existing data plan. I went through the trouble of contacting Airtel customer care on Facebook and I was told the same thing.
“Stop my data” and “Browse from my Airtime at PAYU rate”.
just press 1 to select (stop my data)
Any of these two methods will successfully deactivate PAYU on your Airtel number. if you have any more question you can leave them on the comment
