Disabling GLO Auto-Renewal
Before you disable GLO auto-renewal for your data plan, here’s what to keep in mind:
You Can Still Use Your Data
Disabling auto-renewal doesn’t affect your current data. You can still use the data until the plan expires. Once the plan expires, you’ll need to renew manually if you want to continue using data.
No Refund for Unused Data
If you cancel auto-renewal before your current data plan ends, you won’t get a refund for unused data. Make sure you use up your data before cancelling to avoid wasting any remaining data.
Cancel 24 Hours Before Plan Expiry
To avoid surprise charges, cancel your auto-renewal at least 24 hours before your plan’s renewal date. If you cancel too close to the expiry date, you might still be charged for the next renewal cycle.
You Can Always Reactivate Auto-Renewal
If you change your mind later, you can always reactivate auto-renewal using any of the methods above (SMS, USSD, app or customer service). Just make sure you have enough credit to access the service.
