Ever bought a data plan on Airtel and didn’t finish using it before it expired? You’re not alone. In 2025, Airtel Nigeria continues to support data rollover, allowing you to carry over unused data into your next subscription period.
This feature helps you save money and data by extending the lifespan of your bundles, as long as you renew before expiry. In this blog post, we’ll explain:
- What Airtel Data Rollover means
- How to activate it
- Which plans are eligible
- Common mistakes to avoid
What Is Airtel Data Rollover?
Airtel Data Rollover is a feature that lets you keep unused data from a current bundle and use it in the next subscription, as long as you renew your plan before it expires.
Instead of losing leftover MB or GB, they’re added to your new bundle.
How to Activate Airtel Data Rollover in 2025
You don’t need to activate anything manually. Rollover works automatically if you:
- Renew the same bundle (or a higher bundle)
- Renew before or on the expiry date
- Use the same Airtel SIM
Example: If you subscribe to 1.5GB weekly plan and have 300MB left by day 7, subscribing again on day 7 lets you carry over that 300MB to the new 1.5GB.
Which Airtel Bundles Support Data Rollover?
Almost all standard data plans support rollover in 2025:
- Daily Plans
- Weekly Plans
- Monthly Plans
- Mega Plans (100GB+)
Social bundles and promo bundles may not support rollover unless stated otherwise.
How to Check Rollover Balance
To check your balance (including rolled over data):
- Dial
*140# - Or open the Airtel Thanks App > Tap Data Balance
Rolled-over data is shown alongside your current plan.
Common Mistakes That Cancel Rollover
- Late renewal: If your plan expires before you renew, rollover will be lost.
- Changing to a different plan: Some bundles don’t combine rollover from unrelated bundles.
- Bonus data confusion: Bonus data is not part of rollover.
Best Practices to Maximize Data Rollover
- Set a reminder to renew data before expiry
- Always subscribe using
*312#or the Airtel Thanks App - Stick to the same bundle type (e.g., always monthly)
- Track usage using the app or dial
*140#
With Airtel’s data rollover feature, you no longer have to worry about wasting leftover data. Just renew your plan on time, stick with the same bundle, and watch your unused data carry forward effortlessly.
