But First, Are You Eligible? (The Not-So-Fun Part)

QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
Here's the skinny:
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.![]()
- Be a prepaid Glo subscriber, obviously. This isn't a service for postpaid peeps (sorry, fancy folks!).
- Be an active user. Glo wants to see some commitment! If you haven't used your phone in a while, you might be out of luck.
- Have a good credit history. Basically, Glo wants to know you're good for the borrowed airtime (think of it like a mini loan for your phone).
If you meet these criteria, then high-five yourself and proceed to the fun part!

Borrowing Airtime Made Easy: Two Methods for the Modern Glo-rious User
Glo offers two ways to borrow airtime, catering to your inner techie or the more traditional soul.
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.![]()
Method 1: Dialing Your Way to Top-Up Bliss (For the Phone Ninja)
- *Grab your trusty phone and dial 303#. This is the magic code that unlocks the world of borrowed airtime.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. Glo will guide you through the process, showing you the available amounts you can borrow.
- Select your desired amount and confirm. Once you've chosen your airtime "loan," simply confirm the transaction, and voila! You're good to go.
Method 2: The Online Route for the Digitally Savvy
- Head over to the Glo website. You can find it with a quick Google search, but trust us, it's not hidden in some dark corner of the internet.
- Navigate to the "Borrow Me Credit" section. This might be under the "Recharge" or "My Account" tab, depending on the website layout.
- Log in and follow the prompts. Similar to the USSD method, you'll see the available amounts and be guided through the borrowing process.
Remember, the borrowed airtime will be deducted from your next recharge, so use it wisely!
A Few Friendly Reminders (Because We Care)
- Borrow responsibly. Don't go overboard and end up with a bigger phone bill than your monthly rent (trust us, it's not a pretty sight).
- Repay promptly. Remember, borrowing comes with the responsibility of paying back. Don't be that person who ghosts Glo on their airtime loan!
- Explore alternatives. Borrowing airtime should be a last resort. Consider calling someone with credit, using a Wi-Fi calling app, or even sending a good old-fashioned text message (if your situation allows it).
So there you have it! Now you're equipped with the knowledge and (hopefully) the humor to navigate the world of borrowing airtime with Glo. Remember, use it wisely, stay connected, and most importantly, laugh at yourself when your phone balance decides to take a vacation
