| Airtel Data Rollover Explained – How It Works in 2025 |
Tired of losing your unused data at the end of every subscription? With Airtel Data Rollover in 2025, you can now carry over leftover data to your next bundle—if you renew before the current plan expires.
This guide explains how Airtel data rollover works, which plans support it, and how to make sure your unused data doesn’t go to waste.
What Is Airtel Data Rollover?
Data rollover allows you to retain unused data from your current bundle into your next subscription cycle, instead of losing it.
Airtel Nigeria automatically activates data rollover when you renew your bundle before or immediately after expiry.

How Airtel Data Rollover Works
- Before expiry: You buy another data bundle (same or higher value) → Unused data from the old bundle is added to the new one.
- Within grace period (less than 24 hours): Airtel may still allow rollover if a new bundle is activated immediately.
- After expiry & no renewal: Data is lost.
How to Check If Your Data Rolled Over
- Dial
*323#or use the Airtel Thanks App - Select “Data Balance”
- Look for “Main Balance” + “Rollover Data” in the message
- Rollover data will show with the new bundle’s expiry date
Tips to Ensure Airtel Rollover Works for You
- Always renew your data before expiry
- Don’t switch to another plan type (e.g., from monthly to daily)
- Use the same bundle or a higher one for rollover to apply
- Avoid activating non-eligible plans like social bundles if your goal is to retain data
Use Case Example
Scenario:
You buy 3GB for ₦1000 (30 days).
After 30 days, you still have 500MB left.
If you renew on day 30, the 500MB is added to the new bundle—giving you 3.5GB total.
