How to Cancel Auto Renewal on Glo (2025 Guide)
If you’re a Glo user, you’ve probably noticed that your data sometimes renews automatically when it expires — even when you didn’t plan for it. This happens because of auto-renewal, a feature that renews your active data plan once you have enough airtime.
While convenient for some, it can be annoying if you want to control your spending or switch to a different plan. The good news is, you can cancel Glo auto renewal in just a few seconds.
Here’s a complete guide to help you stop auto renewal on your Glo SIM.
Method 1: Cancel Auto Renewal via SMS
This is the fastest and easiest way to stop Glo’s auto renewal feature.
Steps:
- Go to your phone’s messaging app.
- Type CANCEL.
- Send it to 127.
You’ll receive a confirmation message from Glo that auto renewal has been successfully canceled.
Example:
If you had a 1.6GB data plan, sending CANCEL to 127 stops it from renewing automatically after expiry.
Method 2: Cancel Auto Renewal Using Glo USSD Code
You can also cancel auto renewal using Glo’s quick USSD menu.
Steps:
- Dial *777# on your Glo line.
- Select “Data” from the options.
- Choose “Manage Data” or “Auto Renewal”.
- Then select “Cancel Auto Renewal”.
Once you confirm, Glo will stop your plan from renewing automatically.
Method 3: Use the Glo Café App
If you prefer using an app, you can easily manage and cancel data auto renewal through the Glo Café app.
Steps:
- Download and install the Glo Café app (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store).
- Log in using your Glo number.
- Go to “My Plans”.

That’s it — no more unexpected deductions!

Here are a few reasons why canceling auto renewal might be helpful:
