How to Pause or Freeze Glo Subscriptions in 2025 (Step-by-Step Guide)

Learn how to pause or temporarily freeze your Glo data and service subscriptions in 2025. Stop losing unused data and airtime with these official methods and smart tips.

Why Pause or Freeze Glo Subscriptions?

Many Glo users lose active data bundles, voice plans, or value-added services (VAS) when they don’t use them consistently.

You may want to pause or freeze your Glo subscription when:

• You’re traveling or switching devices
• You want to preserve unused data
• You want to stop auto-renewals temporarily
• You need to stop VAS charges you didn’t sign up for

While Glo doesn’t have a direct “Pause” button, there are effective workarounds you can use to temporarily stop deductions and save balance.

1. Stop Glo Auto-Renewal for Data & Plans

To prevent your active subscriptions from auto-renewing:

USSD Method:

• Dial *777#
• Go to “Data Services” → “Manage Plan”
• Select “Stop Auto-Renewal”
• Confirm your choice

Text Method:

• Send CANCEL to 127
• Or send STOP to 2442 to cancel all unsolicited services

This is the best way to freeze future charges automatically!

2. Remove VAS (Value-Added Services) That Auto-Charge

Glo sometimes auto-enrolls users in VAS services (like caller tunes, daily horoscope, health tips, etc.).

To Deactivate All Unwanted Subscriptions:

• Dial *305# → Choose “My Subscriptions”
• Select the services you want to pause or stop

Or,

• Text STOP to 2442
• You will receive a list of active services
• Reply with the code to deactivate each one

3. Turn Off Mobile Data Completely (Pause Usage)

To freeze your current active data bundle without losing it:

• Android: Swipe down → Tap Mobile Data to turn off
• iPhone: Go to Settings > Mobile Data → Toggle it OFF

This way, your bundle stays untouched until you’re ready to use it again.

Pro Tip:

Install a data manager app like DataEye or NetGuard to control which apps use data and when.

4. Set a Daily Limit to Freeze After Reaching Target

If you want your Glo data to pause automatically after hitting a usage cap:

• Android:
  • Go to Settings > Network > Data Usage
  • Tap Set Data Limit, define the daily or monthly cap

This helps freeze usage when it crosses your chosen limit.

5. Contact Glo Customer Care to Freeze a Service

You can request Glo support to pause or hold certain subscriptions for your number:

• Call 121 (Glo customer care)
• Ask the agent to help pause specific bundles or services
• Provide your Glo number and plan details

Alternatively, you can message Glo on Twitter/X or via Facebook.

While Glo doesn’t offer a direct “pause subscription” feature, you can still freeze or delay your bundles by:

• Turning off mobile data
• Stopping auto-renewals
• Removing unwanted services
• Using smart app tools to control usage
