Is your airtime disappearing unexpectedly on Airtel? You’re not alone. Many users face deductions for services they never subscribed to.


This 2025 guide shows you how to stop Airtel’s unwanted deductions, cancel all value-added services (VAS), and permanently block future subscriptions.


What Are Airtel Unwanted Deductions?

These are automatic charges from:

  • Game/health tips subscriptions
  • Data plan auto-renewals
  • Promotional services

Each deduction ranges from ₦10 to ₦100 daily or weekly. But you can stop all of them quickly.

Dial: *902#
You’ll see a list of active services (if any).

Then:

To block future services:
Dial *902*1# → Choose “Full DND (Do Not Disturb)”
