      Please, how do I stop 15G before the expiry date cos it’s restricting me and it’s slowing down my work. Have subscribed to another package but it’s not effective yet cos am still restricted to d 500mg daily.

        Hello, Mojisola. To opt out of mtn 15gb monthly always on plan auto renewal text NO162 to 131 .
        Ideally your other data package should start deplating automatically after the daily 500MB expires and it should not restrict you from any service. I have both the 15GB and 45GB Always-On active on my line and it works one after the other everyday. confirm you data balance by dialing *131*4# and try accessing internet again. if problem persist, contact MTN on 180 or their social media handle on Facebook or twitter.

      Please if I don’t exhausted my 45GB always on plan data before the expiration date…can it be rolled over?and how?

        Hello Hassan, just like any other MTN data bundle, your 45GB always on plan can be rolled over once it expires as long as you purchase the same 45GB MTN Always on Data Plan immediately after it expires or just at most 24 hours before it expires.

        Hello, Halimat. Yes, you can still access the internet after you exhausted your 1.5GB always-on plan within 24 hours but, only with a different data plan or any other active data balance, not from your 45GB always-on plan until the next day.

        Hello, Ehis. Your expired, unused 45GB always-on data cannot roll over after activating the 15GB always-on data plan. This is because the two data plans are different monthly plans.

      Hi,I subscribe to 45gb always on plan yesterday nite and I cannot access to the network and when I checked my account balance is telling me no data active.is that how it showed when u wanted to check ur account balance and moreso how can I cancel the plan now when is on or I cannot cancel it until it gets exhausted.please kindly explain to me better

        Hello, Femmmy. If you can’t access the network after subscription it could be possible that your data activation was not successful or the network was bad at the moment. kindly ensured that you successfully activated the 45GB always-on-plan using the right code provided in this article. Also, make sure that you check your data balance using *131*4# or *323#.

        Secondly, you cannot cancel an already activated 45GB always on Plan before its expiry date. you can only stop it from auto renewal. to do this, text “NO163” without quote as SMS to 131. the format is: NOcode to 131.

        This is by far the biggest critic of this alway on data plan. If on a busy day I only use 500mb out of the 1.5gb allocated to me and it gets rolled over to the next day, doesn’t that make the data 2.5gb?
        As its stated “you can’t use more than 1.5gb daily” which means whenever you fail to exhaust the 1.5gb you automatically incur a loss.
        This will alert to exhaust your 1.5gb even when it’ll inconvenience your offline activities.
        Other critics would be complain of being not able to use other normal data plans after the allocated data is exhausted.
        However, the major defect I found here is its inflexibility of the rolled over data.
        Let’s say I exhaust between 1-1.5gb on average, so if my rolled over data reaches 30 days and it remains 10gb of unused data how do you suppose it be done. If I roll over by buying another 45gb 6000 the story will only repeat itself.
        The only way this can be plausible is if the un-exhausted data can be renewed with a lower price say 1500-2k Or an alternative threshold would be set so that such un-exhausted data will be utilized.

      I subscribed to the 15gb plan and the transaction was unsuccessful but the money was deducted
      How do I go about this

        Hello, Johnson. If your money was deducted for unsuccessful activation of the 15GB MTN ALWAYS-ON PLAAN, the first thing to do is to check you data balance. to do this, dial *131*4# or *323#. If you did not see the Always-on plan data balance, contact MTN customer care on 180 by call or @mtnng on twitter to put up a complain.

          How can you call something “always on” and then you give subscribers certain amount of data that if it’s exhausted in that day, you won’t be able to browse. How is that an “always on” stuff. Do not deceive yourself, no network provider would help you to gain more from them while they lose. They can only cheat you and you can always need them. That’s the strategy here. Bet me, many would prefer to opt out as fast as they opted in. For once, I won’t even try it.

            I also didn’t know how it was and bought 15gb and it’s just giving me 500mb to use per day, when I’m used to finishing it in an hour. Change it from “always on” to something else please

        Well, I believe it should be possible. I have subscribed to both the 45GB and the 15GB Always On plan at the same time and it works. I received the daily data allowance for both plans respectively.

      The 45gb of 6000 1.5gb daily is no longer on the mtn App on android. And even when you text 163 to 131 it no longer works. I have been experiencing this for like 2 months now

        Mostly at the exact time you subscribe to the plan. If you subscribed at 6am,you will most likely be awarded the 1.5GB data every day at 6am for the 45GB plan

      If I have 4.5gb as my total rolled over, would I be able to use 4.5 +1.5gb = 6gb the next day?
      Or am I restricted to 1.5gb daily?
