One of the provoking thing with data subscription is to see your money deducted for data subscription without an awareness of it. Probably you just load a recharge card to make calls and you hear the network telling you to recharge your phone simply because the initial card you recharged has been used for the data bundle renewal you subscribed to before.
It could be painful but we have a total solution for it. Though you may not be aware, some of the networks use to ask for the option of auto-renewal during subscription and if you choose the option your data bundle will be renewed whenever it expires and that will include using any airtime in your phone for the subscription.
This post will show you how to cancel any data auto-renewal occurring in your phone for all the major telecommunication networks in Nigeria.
