If you receive a pop-up menu to choose either Auto-renewal, One-off, or Buy for a Friend when trying to activate a data bundle, don’t panic. The pop-up menu is a feature that allows you to set your data bundle on Auto-renew or One-off purchase, and to Buy for a Friend:
- Auto-renew Purchase means that your data bundle will auto-renew after expiry in as much as you are having enough airtime on your line.
- One-off Purchase means that your data bundle will not renew after expiry.
- Buy for a Friend option allows you to buy a data bundle for another line with your airtime.
If you are buying a data bundle via SMS and it exits the pop-up menu, or it times out before selecting an option, the data bundle would be activated as a One-off purchase. But, if you are buying the plan via USSD, you will not be able to proceed to acquire the data bundle until you select an option of either one-off, auto-renewal, or buy for a friend. You can check your MTN data balance using any of the following channels;
- SMS: Texting 2 to 131.
- USSD: Dialing ∗131∗4# (for main data bundle and bonus), or *556#.
- MyMTN App.
I hope you were able to find the MTN data plan that suits your budget and time. Here’s a tip, you can also get a free 4GB YouTube Bundle in four tranches of 1GB per week when you buy the 2GB Monthly Plan.

Why is the mb/data not lasting
No idea. Just be cautious of what you use the data on.
