Broke and Calling for Help? How to Borrow Airtime From Airtel (Even if They're Still Mad at You)
Let's face it, we've all been there. You're living your best life, chatting with your bestie, and BAM! Your phone cuts out like a forgotten karaoke mic. You check your balance, and it's drier than a forgotten bag of chips at the bottom of your backpack. But hold on, fellow budget warrior, before you start selling your sock collection online, there's hope!
Introducing Airtel Extra Credit: Your Lifeline in Times of Telephonic Turmoil
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Airtel, in a surprising display of uncharacteristic generosity (or maybe they just know we're all perpetually broke), offers a service called Airtel Extra Credit. This magical service allows you to borrow airtime, even if you still owe them a few bucks from your last borrowing spree.
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
But wait, there's a catch (of course there is):
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
- You'll be charged a 15% service fee (think of it as a finder's fee for your lost airtime).
- There's a limit to how much you can borrow, based on your past payment history (so don't go crazy, Mr. Big Spender).
Here's the lowdown on how to unlock the secrets of Airtel Extra Credit:
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.

- Dial the magic number: *500# on your phone.
- Prepare to be amazed: You'll be presented with a menu of airtime amounts you can borrow. Choose wisely, grasshopper.
- Confirm your selection: Airtel will double-check if you're sure you want to borrow (they're just looking out for you, really).
- Wait with bated breath: If approved, the airtime will be deposited into your account like a digital money fairy.
Bonus Tip: If *500# isn't working its magic, you can also try dialing *121#, select option 3 for "Borrow Credit," and follow the prompts.
Remember, borrowing airtime should be a last resort, not a lifestyle choice. Use it responsibly, pay it back promptly, and maybe consider packing a spare charger next time (just in case).
