Airtel Smarta bundles: prices and balance

Smarta source checked: 18 October 2026

Smarta combines data, calls and SMS in a 7-day or 30-day bundle. The data works across internet sites and arrives upfront, along with the all-network minutes and SMS.

How do I check my Smarta balance?

Dial *544*3# from your Airtel line, or open My Airtel to see your remaining data, minutes and SMS. Check each allowance separately: a remaining call allowance does not mean you still have data.

How do I buy Smarta?

Dial *544# or *334#, or use My Airtel. Airtel lists payment by airtime or mobile money. The offer includes new and existing prepaid customers and is unavailable when roaming. Confirm the final charge and renewal setting before paying.

Does unused Smarta data roll over?

Buy the same Smarta plan within 24 hours after it expires to carry forward unused data, all-network minutes and SMS. Monthly Airtel-only minutes can also roll over. Weekly Airtel-only minutes reset at midnight; they do not build up into a monthly allowance.

A new weekly purchase sets a 7-day validity from that purchase; a monthly purchase sets 30 days. A different plan can leave two allowances running in parallel. Airtel specifically pairs Smarta 300 with 1000, and 500 with 1500, for weekly/monthly validity extensions; check the displayed expiry if you switch plans.

What happens when the data runs out?

Airtel lists out-of-bundle usage at KSh 0.40 per MB. Check your remaining data before continuing to browse. Smarta resources cannot be transferred to another subscriber.
