We would completely understand if you activated auto-renewals for your most used bundles – some of us did too. It’s because of the convenience that it brings since you don’t have to dial USSD codes or have them by your digit tips. This is why most telecoms rolled out dedicated attention to automatically renewing data and SMS bundles.
But what if you’ve had enough of these auto-renewals and want them to stop? There are some occasions when you don’t intend to use your airtime for such a bundle that you activated auto-renewal on. But nonetheless, your airtime gets deducted because well, they are automatic renewals!
You may have opted for auto-renewals by will, so you get bundles without dialing USSDs, or you might have innocently chosen a wrong option when buying a bundle. Whether you opted in willingly or you didn’t know what you were choosing, here is your ultimate guide on how you can have your smile back and put a stop on auto-renewals on Africell Uganda.
On the Africell USSD based app that auto-loads on your smartphone when you first put in your SIM Card (The App is usually named SIM Toolkit), you can follow the following instructions
- Tap the SIMTool Kit App on your smartphone
- Select Option Internet Bundles
- Input the number 6.
- In the new screen pop-up Input the number 1
- Then confirm Auto Renew.
That’s simple. Right? But, if you want to do this all in one go– with just one USSD code you can just type *133*6*1*1# and you will reach the same place as above and you can successfully cancel the auto-renewal option.
