In the past couples of days, a lot of people have been having trouble subscribing to any BB10 subscription packages thus making people wonder if the MTN BB10 plan has been stopped by MTN just as they did the Xtra cool night calls plan. This error is probably because of their system upgrade.

Users who are still subscribed to any of these plans that doesn't want to be in the shoes of those that can't subscribe when theirs expires should take this precaution measures just in case. To know if you'll be able to re-subscribe when yours expires, sms BBLITED to 21600 and make sure you don't have airtime that is up to N70 in your account before sending the sms, if you receive a feedback message like "sorry the operation was not successful, you do not have enough airtime blah blah" then you're on the safe side, but if you by any chance received a feedback sms with "BBLITED subscription failed" sorry my friend, you won't be able to re-subscribe when your package expires.

Luckily there's a workaround for this, follow the simple trick below to be able to re-subscribe after your subscription expires:
If you received the "subscription failed" error, immediately sms DATA OFF to 131 before your subscription expires, after receiving the confirmation message, you can then go back to flexing your remaining data till your subscription to expires, and when it does expires and you receive the "auto-renewal failed" message from MTN, now sms DATA ON to 131. After receiving the confirmation message you can then successfully re-subscribe to your package of choice without the fear of receiving any error message.

Note; you'll have to repeat this steps each time you want to re-subscribe or your subscription is about to expire to be on the safe side before MTN resolves the problem.

Guys who are already stuck at the "Subscription failed" loop are not left out, to subscribe to any of the BB10 plans you'll have to DM (direct message) your phone number and the MTN BB10 plan you want to @MTN180 on twitter and it will automatically be done for you. Normal code is apparently undergoing some kind of system upgrade and will be fixed soon. You can the follow the first method above to be able to subscribe quickly next time.
