But First, Are You Eligible? (The Not-So-Fun Part)
Before we dive into the borrowing bonanza, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
- Been an MTN customer for at least 3 months? Great, you're halfway there!
- Have less than GH¢4 of airtime left? This is where things get interesting. If you're rolling in dough (even the digital kind), XtraTime might not be your best friend.
Borrowing with the Speed of a Bolt (Well, Maybe Not That Fast)
Alright, you've cleared the eligibility hurdle. Now, onto the good stuff! Here are two ways to borrow airtime with MTN GH:
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
1. The USSD Code Caper:
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.

- *Dial 506# on your phone. It's like a secret handshake with the MTN network.
- Select "XtraTime". This is the magic word that unlocks the borrowing portal.
- Choose your poison (er, I mean, airtime amount). You'll see a list of options, so pick the one that suits your needs.
- Confirm, confirm, confirm! Double-check the amount and make sure you're happy before hitting that confirmation button.
2. The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Escapade:
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
- Dial 303. This is like calling a friend who can help you out in a bind.
- Select your preferred language. No judgment here, we all have our preferences.
- Choose "XtraTime" from the menu. Remember, this is your key to borrowing glory.
- Follow the voice prompts. The IVR will guide you through selecting the amount and confirming the transaction.
Remember: There's a service fee attached to borrowing airtime. Think of it as a small convenience charge for getting you out of a tight spot. The fee will be deducted from the borrowed amount, and the remaining airtime will be credited to your account.
Pro-Tips for the Savvy Borrower:
- Borrow only what you need. Don't go overboard, or you might end up feeling like you're drowning in debt (well, airtime debt, at least).
- Top-up as soon as possible. Remember, borrowed airtime needs to be repaid! The sooner you top-up, the faster you'll be back in the clear.
- Use XtraTime responsibly. It's a great tool to have in your pocket, but don't rely on it too much.
So there you have it! With XtraTime, you can say goodbye to those awkward "call me back later" moments and keep the communication flowing. Just remember to borrow wisely, and you'll be back to chatting and calling in no time.
