Have you ever loaded airtime, only to see it vanish before you even make a call? You’re not alone. Many MTN Ghana users find their airtime disappearing like magic, often because of hidden subscriptions they didn’t even realize they had. From caller tunes to daily news updates, these services can silently drain your balance.
But don’t worry! In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to cancel any MTN Ghana subscription—step by step—so you can finally stop wasting money on things you don’t need. It’s super simple, and you’ll feel great knowing your airtime is safe.
Why Your Airtime Keeps Disappearing
You might think your airtime is running out because of calls or data usage, but there’s a sneaky culprit—automatic subscriptions! These can include:
- Caller tunes (those songs people hear when they call you)
- Daily news or horoscope updates
- Sports alerts
- Trivia games
- Mobile insurance
- Phonebook backup services
Some of these services might have been activated accidentally, while others could have been bundled with something else you signed up for. The good news? You can cancel them all in seconds.
The Magic Code to Cancel MTN Ghana Subscriptions
MTN has a simple way to manage subscriptions, and it all starts with this shortcode: *175#.
Think of this as your “reset button” to take back control of your airtime. Here’s how to use it:
Step-by-Step Guide to Unsubscribing from MTN Services
- Dial 175# on your phone (just like you would when checking your balance).
- A menu will pop up. Select Option 1 for “My Subscriptions.”
- You’ll see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your number.
- Choose the subscription you want to cancel, or select “Unsubscribe All” to remove everything at once.
- Confirm your deactivation by selecting “Yes.”
- You’ll receive an SMS confirming that the subscription has been canceled.
That’s it! No more unwanted deductions from your airtime.
Extra Tip: How to Prevent Accidental Subscriptions
Stopping subscriptions is great, but preventing them from coming back is even better. Here’s how to avoid unwanted sign-ups in the future:
- Be careful when clicking pop-ups – Some ads and messages trick you into subscribing without realizing it.
- Check messages from MTN carefully – Sometimes, they send offers that activate services if you reply.
- Avoid dialing random shortcodes – Some promotions require you to dial a code that automatically signs you up for a service.
By staying alert, you can keep your airtime safe from sneaky deductions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)s:
Q: How do I check all my active subscriptions?
Dial *175# and select “My Subscriptions” to see everything you’re currently subscribed to.
