How To Stop Vodacom Airtime Finishing Quickly
To stop your airtime from finishing quickly, kindly follow the steps below:
1. Disable Pay As You Go Browsing:
Pay as you go browsing allows a customer to continue browsing with an out of bundle rate when they have fully exhausted their data bundles.
When you have pay as you go browsing activated on our account, it may allow you to browse the internet with your remaining airtime when your data is finished. So, to stop your airtime from finishing quickly, you must disable pay as you go browsing.
2. Unsubscribe From Unwanted Vodacom WASP Services:
WASP services allow third-party companies to deliver services to Vodacom customers via SMS and MMS messages.
These services require airtime to a subscriber, and sometimes you are charge daily. However, sometimes there may be some WASP services you no longer need but are still depleting your airtime.
So, you must disable such services to stop take your airtime. To disable all WASP services from your Vodacom account, send “STOP” to 30333.
