Victory (or Defeat):
If the Airtime Gods are smiling upon you, you'll receive a confirmation message and boom! Borrowed airtime is yours to use. But remember, borrowed airtime comes with a service fee, so don't be surprised if the amount you receive is slightly less than what you requested. Consider it a small price to pay for the ability to stay connected.
However, if the Airtime Gods are feeling grumpy, you might receive a message saying you're not eligible to borrow airtime. Don't despair! This might be because you're a new customer, haven't recharged in a while, or haven't settled any previous borrowing.

Remember, borrowing airtime is a temporary solution, not a permanent fix. Manage your airtime wisely, and may the Airtime Gods always be in your favor!
