- Install the My Airtel app from the Play Store or App Store if you don’t have it already.
- Launch it, read Airtel's terms of service, and accept.
- Enter your Airtel mobile number on the next screen.
- Tap REQUEST OTP, then wait a few seconds for the app to process it automatically. Your SIM card should be inside the same phone.

Monitoring your airtime and data balance in Airtel lets you keep a tab on what you have left and saves you from running out of talk time and data at the most crucial times. And most times, it will help you adjust your data usage, so you don't use past your monthly quota or get into debt.
There are various ways to check the data balance and remaining airtime on your Airtel line. Using the Airtel mobile app seems more intuitive and straightforward than cramming USSD codes for every balance inquiry. However, remember that you'll need an active internet connection to check your Airtel balance on the app. It won’t work when you’ve run out of data,, or your internet fluctuates. And, sometimes, with mobile apps, glitches may occur at the most unexpected time.
Nonetheless, the My Airtel app offers more than just real-time balance checking. With it, you can run a balance recharge or buy a data bundle using your ATM card. You can pay other bills, share airtime and data, and get swift customer support.
Other Ways to Check Your Airtel Balance
Besides using the My Airtel app, you can check Airtel data balance and talk time balance by USSD codes or even call customer care. But who calls customer care only to check their account balance? Most people dial 121 or *131# to check the Airtel balance.
Check your Airtel balance with USSD codes
USSD codes, or Unstructured Supplementary Service Data codes, are handy ways to check your mobile balance. They’ve been in existence even before developers brought across mobile apps. So, we're used to them. And while it might not be as straightforward as the My Airtel app, it still gets the job done.
Below are various USSD codes for checking Airtel mobile balances in Kenya.
- *133# or *131#
Open your Phone app and dial any of these codes to check your Airtel talk time balance.
- *544#
Dialing *544# on your Airtel line takes you to the menu where you can access all Airtel data plans. From there, you can purchase data bundles or check your existing balance.
- *544*3#
To check your remaining data balance straightaway, dial *544*3#. Once displayed on the screen, you may as well receive the data balance as an SMS in your inbox. Open the message to check your data balance.
- *131*154#
Sometimes, Airtel rewards you with a data bonus upon successful airtime recharge. You can check these bonuses by dialing *131*154# on your phone.
Check your Airtel balance by calling customer care
Though it's stressful sometimes, you can still confirm your Airtel talk time and data balance by calling their customer care line. Meanwhile, it doesn't have to be just about checking your credit; you may want to speak to an agent regarding an issue with your line or balance checking.
You can call 100 on your Airtel line to talk to a customer care representative. Follow the guided instructions to speak to an agent.
Get your mobile balance online—from the Airtel website
Besides using the mobile app, dialing USSD codes, or calling customer care, you could get your Airtel mobile balance from their official website. Most telco companies have personal portals where users can log on to check information about their line. Such includes checking your balance, PUK, and a lot more.
Visit Airtel's official website to see if you can find such. All you need is to register with your mobile number and PUK, then log in to check your details.
