What is the Code for Data Loan?

Published in Mobile Data Services 2 mins read

To access a data loan, particularly for Airtel users, you can dial specific USSD codes directly from your mobile phone. These codes allow you to request a small amount of data on credit when you've run out.

Airtel Data Loan Codes

For Airtel subscribers, the primary codes to request a data loan are designed for quick and easy access. By dialing one of these codes, you can often get an instant data credit.

  • Primary Data Loan Codes for Airtel:
    • *521#
    • *141#

These codes are typically used to request a 1GB data loan, which can be useful when you need urgent connectivity. Such data loans are often provided free of charge, with the amount deducted from your next recharge.

How to Avail an Airtel Data Loan

Accessing a data loan is a straightforward process, usually involving a simple USSD dial:

  1. Open your phone's dialer application.
  2. Dial one of the codes: Enter either *521# or *141#.
  3. Initiate the call/request.
  4. Follow on-screen prompts (if any): Some services might require you to select an option from a menu to confirm your data loan request.

Upon successful request, the data amount (e.g., 1GB) will be credited to your account, allowing you to continue browsing, streaming, or communicating. This service is designed to be a convenient lifeline for users experiencing low or no data balance.
