Ever wondered why your Safaricom airtime keeps vanishing into thin air? Or maybe your inbox is flooded with weird messages and random notifications? Well, chances are you’re subscribed to services you don’t even use—or never signed up for in the first place.

Here’s the good news: Safaricom makes it super easy to check and stop all active subscriptions on your line. Whether it’s data bundles, SMS packs, Skiza tunes, premium games or those annoying marketing messages, you can view and manage everything using a USSD code—no smartphone or internet needed!

Why You Should Check Active Subscriptions

Shady third-party services sneak into your subscriptions without your consent. One day you’re just using your phone normally and the next day you’ve got weird charges or strange prompts asking you to join something you never heard of.

Sound familiar?

Even if you did subscribe to a service intentionally—like a Skiza tune or a weekly SMS bundle—it’s still smart to keep tabs on what’s active and costing you money.

How to Check and Stop Safaricom Subscriptions Using USSD

Here’s the step-by-step guide to help you take control of your line:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Dial *456# on your Safaricom line.

  2. From the main menu, select option 9: “STOP”.

  3. A list of service categories will appear:

    • Data Bundles

    • SMS Bundles

    • Skiza Tunes

    • Premium Services and Games

    • Marketing Messages

    • Weekly Notifications

  4. Select the category you want to manage.

  5. Choose to:

    • View Active Subscriptions

    • Unsubscribe / Stop Services

It’s that easy! Within seconds you’ll know exactly what’s eating into your airtime—and you can stop it.

Pro Tip

If you’re not sure which service is causing airtime deductions, start by checking Premium Services and Games. These are the most common culprits for unauthorized charges.

Final Thoughts

Stop your airtime from disappearing. Check your subscriptions and stop what you don’t need or didn’t sign up for. Easy peasy.
