The Great Airtime Heist: Borrowing Airtel From Glo (But Seriously, Don't!)
Ah, the dreaded "low balance" notification. It's like the Grim Reaper of phone calls, lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce when you need that urgent Uber or that life-saving pizza delivery.

| How To Borrow Airtel From Glo |
1. The Recharge Robin Hood:

Remember, borrowing airtime across networks might be a tempting fantasy, but it's not reality. Use these alternative solutions, keep your head up, and your phone calls will be flowing in no time!
