HOW TO CANCEL AIRTEL NIGERIA AUTORENEWAL BY SMS
If you want to disable the airtel autorenewal through SMS, this is quite easy and all you have to do is to follow the guide below:
- Go to your phone “Messages” or “SMS” app. This is easy to find on your mobile phone as all phones come with this application.
- Send “STOP” as a text message to 141

HOW TO CANCEL AIRTEL NIGERIA AUTORENEWAL VIA TWITTER
Many people do not know that they can cancel their Airtel autorenewal through Twitter and this is done when one visits the Airtel Nigeria dedicated Twitter account set up by this top telecoms company for the sole purpose of attending to their numerous customers who may be facing certain issues while using Airtel services.
In order to deactivate your Airtel autorenewal service via the Twitter method, the following steps should be followed:
- Simply login to your Twitter account on the Twitter app or website. If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can create one easily by downloading the app on your Google Play Store (Twitter is currently banned in Nigeria but some people have their ways of accessing the app)
- Click the search button on Twitter and search for airtel_care
- This should bring out the official Airtel customer care account with a verified twitter badge in the search options. Ensure that you are clicking on a verified twitter account and not just anything that has Airtel in it.
- Once you have found airtel_cares, you can then send them a direct message (dm) outlining your challenge. Endeavour to include your phone number, and the data plan you need them to deactivate on your airtel line
- Exercise some patience and wait for a reply from them.
