How To Cancel Data Plan On MTN, Glo, Etisalat, Airtel – Have you ever been unable to subscribe to an internet data package plan because you were advised that “you cannot subscribe while you already have an active plan” or that “operation failed”? This is typically the case for certain internet service providers that have yet to adopt the rollover technology that a few others have. In order to subscribe to a new data plan, they will need you to deactivate the existing one.
Whatever the case may be, the codes below will show you how to interrupt, deactivate, or cancel a data plan for MTN, Airtel, Glo, and Etisalat networks (Blackberry, Android, or Mobile).
Data subscriptions allow you to link to the Internet and stay up to date with what’s going on in the world around you and beyond Nigeria. You can virtually know all that is happening in the United States without actually being there, thanks to the Internet.

This is only one of the many advantages of having access to the Internet, and Nigerian telecommunication companies provide a variety of data plans to make it possible.
If your current data plan is driving you crazy and you’d like to move to another or to a different network entirely, the details you’ll need to cancel your data subscription on MTN, Etisalat, Glo, and Airtel will be given below.
Airtel
If you are already on the Airtel network and want to move to another network for data subscription or upgrade your Airtel data plan, you must first deactivate the old one.
To deactivate your old data plan on Airtel, text “Stop” to 140. That’s what there is to it. When you press send, the network will automatically uninstall your old subscription and send you an email to let you know what you’ve done.
After that, you can sign up for any other data plan you want, whether it’s with Airtel or another ISP (ISP).
Etisalat
If you’ve been accessing the Internet via the Etisalat network and want to move to another network for your data subscription, dial 8229*0# and submit.
The old data plan will be deactivated from your account after you send it, and you can now subscribe to a new data plan. You may also submit the word “stop” to 229 instead of the above code. This code also functions like magic, and the data will be removed as soon as you submit it.
Globacom
Globacom offers a variety of great data plans to choose from, and you can sign up for all of them. Their data plan is also one of the most accessible in Nigeria. As a result, you will be able to get more bang for your buck.

Regardless, if you are unhappy with Glo’s data plan, you can quickly cancel your subscription. It’s possible that the glo network in your region is poor; cancel and subscribe to a better network.
Text “cancel” to 127 to cancel Glo’s data subscription. Glo will give you a message almost immediately telling you that the deactivation has been completed. You can now subscribe to every new data plan that you want.
MTN
You can also conveniently deactivate your MTN data plan on your computer. MTN Pulse currently offers 1G for 500 nairas, which I consider one of Nigeria’s best deals.
If you want to use another network instead of MTN for some reason, text “reset” to 131 to cancel the MTN data plan on your phone.
