Without wasting any more of your time, let’s see how you can get your own free data from Airtel too.


How to get 1GB free data on Airtel from My Airtel app


  • Download My Airtel for your Android (6.6 MB), install and launch the app (Ensure that the phone that has My Airtel app has the Airtel SIM card, you will find out why it is important for the SIM card to be in the phone very soon).
  • You will get to a page where you would be asked to type in your Airtel number, type in the Airtel number that’s in the device you’re using to register, wait for some seconds to receive an OTP code from Airtel and you will receive it. You do not need to bother about typing it down in a space box as it will pass through the auto-verification process by itself in the app. This is why it is necessary for the number you wish to receive the free data with has to be active on the same device you’re trying to register with.
  • When it passes the auto-verification process, you would be logged into the app now wait for some seconds and you will receive a text message from Airtel that should read;

Congratulations, you have been credited with Free Airtel App Download data bonus.

After receiving this message, dial *140# to view your data balance. The data should be valid for 7 days. If you fail to get your own 1GB free data after registering on the app, kindly wait for some minutes as some people’s data take time to get to their Airtel SIM cards.

    1. Ok noted! I must let you know that the Airtel app auto-verifies that the SIM is active on the device by itself and you don’t need to type in the OTP code sent to your Airtel SIM card, if it’s telling you that it can’t verify, wait a little longer and try again on the app, thank you

    1. Sorry sir but I hate to prove you wrong about nobody getting the data. I personally did it for someone two days ago and he received the data the next day, I just think it’s a matter of time before the data gets to your SIM card after successfully logging into the app

          1. 💃💃I’ve gotten the bonus data…i think you guys just have to be patient,I just left it since yesterday then got a message this afternoon that I have been given the bonus data…it’s not fake oo… thanks for the info

  1. It just stocked in the OTP page, I later received the OTP code on this same device but it failed to process.

          1. Will I be logged in automatically or I need to log in by myself after receiving the OTP because I have received the OTP since morning.

  2. Dy jxt snd me..after he many hours…. guys it working jxt active ND forget about it…you will get your 1gb…did mine by 11am…gat it by 6:20pm…it’s working..

  3. I’ve received the data this evening , but I have an initial data and now what I’m doing is being deducted from my initial bundle

    1. You don’t need to take any action from your end after the app you logs you in, the only action you need to take is to check your data balance to see if you’ve been given the data

    1. After installing and successful installation of the app, I got this message:
