If you’re a Telenor user in Pakistan, you might have experienced unexpected deductions from your mobile balance, especially when using the internet without an active data package. To help users prevent such unwanted charges, Telenor offers a Balance Save Code feature. This blog will guide you on how to activate this feature and keep your balance secure.
What Is the Telenor Balance Save Code?
The Telenor Balance Save Code is a free service that protects your mobile balance from being consumed when your data package expires or if you’re not subscribed to any data plan. By activating this service, your balance remains intact, and you won’t be charged for unintended internet usage.
How to Activate the Telenor Balance Save Code
To activate the Balance Save service on your Telenor SIM, follow these simple steps:
- Open your phone’s dialer.
- Dial *7799# and press the call button.
- Wait for a confirmation message indicating that the service has been activated.
Once activated, your balance will be protected from unintended internet charges.
Additional Tips to Save Your Telenor Balance
Here are some detailed tips to save your Telenor mobile balance, especially when you’re not using a data package or want to avoid extra charges:
Turn Off Mobile Data When Not in Use
Many apps use data in the background (even if you’re not using them). To avoid this:
- Go to your phone’s settings and switch off mobile data.
- Alternatively, use the quick toggle button in the notification panel to disable it when you’re not browsing.
Why it helps: It prevents your phone from syncing emails, updating apps, or using the internet without your knowledge.
Restrict Background Data for Specific Apps
Apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube may keep running in the background.
How to Restrict Background Data:
- Android: Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Data Usage > Turn off “Background Data”
- iPhone: Settings > General > Background App Refresh > Turn it Off for unwanted apps
Why it helps: It stops apps from using the internet when you’re not using them.
Activate Data Packages Before Browsing
Always subscribe to a Telenor internet package before you use the internet. If you don’t, Telenor will deduct charges at the standard rate, which is much higher.
How to activate a data package:
- Dial *345# or use the My Telenor App to subscribe to affordable daily, weekly, or monthly internet bundles.
Use the My Telenor App to Track Balance and Data
Download the My Telenor App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
What it does:
- Shows your remaining data, balance, and active packages
- Sends alerts when your data is about to end
Why it helps:You can stop using data before your package ends, preventing balance loss.
Block Internet When Package Expires (Via Settings)
Some phones allow you to block all internet access once your data limit is reached.
On Android:
- Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage > Data Saver > Enable
- Set a data limit to stop internet access when the limit is reached
Why it helps: Prevents accidental use of the balance when the internet package ends.
Turn Off Auto App Updates
Google Play and App Store apps auto-update by default, using a lot of data.
How to disable:
- Google Play: Settings > Network Preferences > Auto-update apps > Choose “Over Wi-Fi only”
- iPhone: Settings > App Store > Disable “Use Mobile Data”
Why it helps: Stops apps from updating over mobile data and consuming your balance.
Use Lite Versions of Apps
Download Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, TikTok Lite, etc. These use less data and work well on slower internet, too.
Why it helps: Reduces data usage and helps balance last longer.
Disable SIM 2 Data (If Using Dual SIM)
If Telenor is in SIM slot 1 and you’re using the internet from SIM 2, make sure Telenor SIM doesn’t start using data accidentally.
Go to Settings > SIM Cards > Mobile Data > Select SIM 2
Why it helps: Ensures Telenor SIM doesn’t get charged unexpectedly.
These tips, along with dialing the official Telenor Balance Save Code *7799#, will help protect your mobile balance and avoid unwanted deductions.
