How To Deactivate Airtel PAYU / PAYG Plan Using USSD Code

#Airtel is fond of making PAYU / PayG a default plan when buying a new line. Even if you have an active data on the new line, they will still deduct from your
airtime when browsing the internet.
I've experienced this sad situation not quite long,
whereby I have an active data on my new Airtel line
and they keep deducting from my airtime anytime I
browse the internet.
Unlike other networks, they will tell you and even
give you a code to dial if you wish to browse as
PAYU anytime you exhaust your data bundle. That's
the main reason I am writing this post now, as many
people are facing such problem too.
How To Deactivate Airtel PAYU / PAYG Plan
It's quite simple to stop Airtel from deducting from
your airtime when browsing. I'll be dropping two
methods on how I achieved that. Kindly read along.
First Method
This method works if you don't have an active data
on your line and you wish to stop Airtel PAYU.
What you have to do is to subscribe for any data
plan. By doing so, you will be be opted out
automatically from Airtel PAYU. Just dial *141# and
choose your preferred data bundle.
You'll be asked what should happen when your
bundle finishes, just reply with 1, which is Stop My
Data.
Second Method
This method works for everyone. If you have an
active data on your line and Airtel keeps deducting
from your airtime balance, that means you are on
PAYU plan. This method will work for you.
What you have to do is to dial *400*1#. You'll get a
response saying "You have been unsubscribed from
Airtel FREE SURF offer".
That's all. You have successfully opted out of Airtel
PAYU plan. You can dial *400# if you wish to go back
to Airtel PAYU and continue browsing from your
airtime balance.
