If your 9mobile data plan keeps renewing whenever you have enough airtime, you can turn off auto-renewal before the bundle expires. The commonly reported direct option is *229*0#, while SMS and the current service menu may also provide a cancellation option.
How to Cancel 9mobile Data Auto-Renewal
Method 1: Use the USSD Code
- Open your phone’s Dialer.
- Dial *229*0# from your 9mobile line.
- Follow the prompts shown on your screen.
- Select the option to stop or cancel automatic renewal if prompted.
- Wait for the confirmation message.
Current 2026 references continue to list *229*0# as the direct 9mobile auto-renewal cancellation code. Because USSD menus can change, check the response displayed by your line and do not rely on an old menu sequence.
Method 2: Send STOP by SMS
Another currently reported method is to send STOP by SMS to 229. Wait for a confirmation message before assuming the auto-renewal has been disabled.
Method 3: Use the 9mobile Service Menu
If the direct code does not work on your line, open the current 9mobile data/service menu and look for an option such as Manage Data, Active Subscriptions or Cancel Auto-Renewal. Menu availability can vary.
Does Cancelling Auto-Renewal Cancel Your Existing Data?
No. Cancelling auto-renewal is different from cancelling the active data bundle. In normal circumstances, your existing bundle continues until its expiry date. The change simply prevents the network from automatically buying the bundle again when it expires.
When Should You Cancel Auto-Renewal?
It is best to opt out before your current data bundle reaches its expiry time, especially if you do not want your next recharge to be used for another subscription.
- Cancel before the bundle expires.
- Keep the confirmation SMS if you receive one.
- Check your data balance and validity after making the request.
- If you are unsure whether it worked, repeat the check through the current service menu.
What If 9mobile Still Renews the Data?
First check whether the cancellation request was successful. If you did not receive confirmation, try the current cancellation method again. Also check whether another data subscription is active on the line.
- Check your data balance with *323#.
- Review any active data subscription shown by the network.
- Check your airtime balance with *310#.
- Contact 9mobile support if airtime was deducted after a confirmed cancellation.
Will I Lose My Remaining Data?
Stopping auto-renewal does not normally mean you immediately lose the data already credited to your line. You are stopping the next automatic purchase, not manually deleting the current bundle.
9mobile Auto-Renewal and Data Rollover
If you have unused data, check the terms of your particular bundle before cancelling or buying another plan. Rollover rules depend on the plan.
