How to check your MTN data balance in 2026

The fastest check is *131*4# — it works on every MTN line, costs nothing, and returns both your data balance and its expiry date in a single flash message.

The MyMTN app shows the same figure with a breakdown by bundle, which matters if you are running more than one plan on the same line. It needs data to load, which is the obvious problem when you are checking whether you have any.

If you bought through AlilezoHub, the balance and expiry appear on the receipt in your dashboard. That copy does not depend on the network being reachable.
