Many Safaricom users are dissatisfied that they are losing airtime due to Safaricom subscriptions that they did not sign up for or do not require anymore. These subscriptions may be for a variety of services, including news alerts, premium SMS, Skiza songs, etc. In addition to deducting airtime without your knowledge, they could send you bothersome or pointless messages or notifications that could interfere with how you use or communicate on your phone.

Fortunately, there are a number of fast ways to check and remove yourself from any Safaricom membership you no longer want or desire. You will discover how to achieve that using USSD and the MySafaricom App in this article.

Using *456# as a USSD Code

• On your phone, dial *456# and then click the call button.
• You’ll see a menu with several choices. To stop, choose option 9, then hit send.
