How to Check Your Airtime and Data Balance

After buying airtime or data, you may want to confirm how much is available on your line.

You can check your balance directly from your phone without using the internet.

Nigeria's major mobile networks now use harmonised USSD codes for checking airtime and data balances.

How to Check Your Airtime Balance

To check your airtime balance:

Open your phone dialer.
Dial *310#.
Press the call button.
Your available airtime balance will be displayed.

The *310# code is the harmonised airtime balance code provided by the Nigerian Communications Commission and works across the major Nigerian mobile networks.

How to Check Your Data Balance

To check your data balance:

Open your phone dialer.
Dial *323#.
Press the call button.
Your remaining data balance and related information will be displayed.

The *323# code is the harmonised data-plan balance code for Nigerian mobile networks.

Balance Codes at a Glance

What you want to check	Code
Airtime balance	*310#
Data balance	*323#

These codes are designed to work across major Nigerian mobile networks, including MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile/T2.

You Can Also Use Your Network App

Most network operators provide mobile apps where you can view your balance and other account information.

For example:

MTN: myMTN App
Airtel: Airtel Thanks
Glo: Glo Café
9mobile/T2: Network self-service channels

MTN also provides 3234# and SMS options for checking certain data balances, while Glo provides *323# through its official channels.

What If the Code Does Not Work?

If the USSD code does not respond:

Confirm that you are using the correct SIM.
Check that your phone has network coverage.
Try again after a few minutes.
Use your network's official mobile app.
Contact your network provider through its official customer-care channel.

Keep Your Balance Under Control

Checking your balance regularly helps you know when your airtime or data is running low.

After purchasing data or airtime from Larabills, you can use the codes above to confirm the balance directly on your network line.

Airtime: *310#

Data: *323#

Save these codes on your phone so you can easily check your balance whenever you need to.
