MTN XtraTime to the Rescue!
Ah, the dreaded "low balance" notification. It hits you like a rogue text from your ex - unexpected, unwelcome, and leaving you feeling a tad stranded. But fear not, fellow communicator, for MTN has a secret weapon in its arsenal: XtraTime!
XtraTime: Your Airtime Knight in Shining Armor
Think of XtraTime as your personal airtime fairy godmother (or godfather, no judgment here). When you're running low on juice, XtraTime swoops in and grants you a temporary airtime loan, allowing you to make calls, send texts, and browse the internet (responsibly, of course) until your next recharge.

How to XtraTime Your Way Out of Trouble:
Here's the lowdown (pun intended) on how to use XtraTime:
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.![]()
- Dial the magical code: 1362# (South Africa) or *606# (Nigeria).
- Enter the mystical land of XtraTime: Select "XtraTime" from the menu.
- Choose your airtime adventure: You'll be presented with a selection of loan amounts. Pick the one that best suits your needs (and your wallet's current mood).
- Confirm your brave decision: A message will appear showing the loan amount and a small service fee (think of it as XtraTime's magic potion fee). Confirm if you're ready to embark on this airtime-borrowing quest.
Important Note: XtraTime is only available for prepaid MTN customers, and eligibility is based on your recharge history. So, if you're a loyal MTNer who keeps their account topped up, you're more likely to be granted an XtraTime loan.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.![]()
Xtra Cautions and Considerations:
Remember, XtraTime is a loan, not free airtime. The borrowed amount, plus the service fee, will be deducted from your main account upon your next recharge. So, use XtraTime wisely and recharge soon to avoid any late repayment fees (which, let's be honest, are no one's friend).

The Final Verdict: XtraTime - A Lifesaver (With a Sense of Humor)
While XtraTime is a fantastic tool for those moments of communication crisis, it's always best to plan your airtime usage and recharge regularly. But hey, if you find yourself in a sticky situation, XtraTime is there to lend a helping hand (or rather, dial tone). Just remember to use it responsibly and keep those witty texts and calls flowing!
