You know that annoying feeling when you recharge your mobile phone and the recharge is used for data auto renewal by your service provider. E dey pain!
Of course, when you recharge with a USSD code, you are asked if you want your data plan to be renewed, you can easily select no.
But what happens when you make a mistake or you buy data via your bank? There is no option to auto-renew in the later case except you dial the USSD code and immediately cancel. If not when you recharge, it would be auto renewed which you don’t want.
