How to stop WASP charges MTN
Quick Answer
MTN WASP charges usually happen because one content service keeps billing the line on a repeated cycle. Check MyMTN app and the cancellation menu before the next deduction window.
Causes
- MTN content service is still active: Most users notice this the morning after a top-up when the same daily deduction appears again on MTN. MTN repeat deductions usually show up around the same time each day, which makes subscription cycles easier to spot. Users usually spot it when the same deduction returns the next day.
- A subscription SMS or short-code sign-up started billing: One tap on a content prompt can attach premium billing until the service is cancelled properly.
- The first cancellation did not fully close: A service can keep charging until both the provider and MTN register the stop request.
How to Fix
- Open MyMTN app.
- Check active content services.
- Cancel the service or stop all.
- Ask MTN to block future content-service sign-ups.
- Check the next daily deduction window and escalate if it returns.
Prevention Tips
- Keep proof of every cancellation request until deductions stop.
- Avoid signing up through unknown SMS links or pop-ups.
- Check active subscriptions after any new unexpected airtime loss.
- Ask support about premium-content blocking if this has happened before.

Can MTN block new WASP subscriptions?
