If you use a mobile network that offers Storo Bonus, you may sometimes receive a larger bonus credit than you can use for calls before the bonus expires at midnight. Instead of allowing the unused Storo Bonus to go to waste, you can convert it into data bundles and use it for browsing.
The process is simple and can be completed directly from your phone using the *460# USSD menu.
In this guide, we explain how to convert Storo Bonus to data bundles, the USSD code to use, how the conversion works, and an important expiry reminder.
What Is Storo Bonus?
Storo Bonus is promotional bonus credit that can be used for eligible communication services, such as making calls, depending on the terms of the offer.

Important: Storo Data Bundles Expire at Midnight
There is an important thing to remember when converting your Storo Bonus into data.
The data bundles converted from Storo Bonus also expire at midnight.
This means you should not convert a large amount of Storo Bonus into data unless you expect to use it before the expiry time.
For example, if you convert your Storo Bonus into a data bundle during the day, you should plan to use the bundle before midnight of the same day.
Unused converted data may not carry forward after the expiry time.
Why Is the Expiry Important?
Suppose you have a large Storo Bonus balance and you know that you will not finish using it for calls before midnight. Converting it into data can give you another way to make use of the bonus.
However, converting it does not extend the validity period.
Storo Bonus → Data Bundle = Still expires at midnight.
Therefore, conversion is most useful when you need data during the remaining hours of the day.
Why Convert Storo Bonus to Data?
There are several reasons why the conversion option can be useful.
1. Use Bonus Credit for Browsing
If you do not need to make many calls, converting some of your bonus credit into data allows you to use it for internet browsing.
2. Avoid Wasting Unused Bonus
If you have more Storo Bonus than you can use for calls, converting part of it to data can help you get additional value from the bonus before it expires.
3. No Internet Connection Required to Convert
The conversion process is performed through USSD, meaning you can access the menu without first having an internet connection.
4. Quick and Simple Process
You only need to dial *460#, select 6 – Storo Data Bundles, choose your preferred amount and confirm.
Things to Check Before Converting Storo Bonus
Before completing the transaction, keep the following points in mind:
- Make sure you have an eligible Storo Bonus balance.
- Dial *460# from the relevant mobile line.
- Select 6 – Storo Data Bundles.
- Check the available conversion amounts.
- Choose the amount you actually expect to use.
- Remember that the converted data expires at midnight.
