You're stranded in a communication desert, and the only lifeline you see involves selling your firstborn (not recommended).

But Before You Borrow Like a Boss...
Here's the deal: XtraTime isn't for everyone. You gotta be an MTN pre-paid customer who's been with the network for at least three months. Additionally, your borrowing limit depends on your monthly spending habits. So, the more you recharge, the more you can potentially borrow. Think of it as building trust with the airtime loan fairy.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Borrowing Airtime: A 3-Step Adventure
Now, onto the good stuff! Here's how to borrow airtime using the USSD code *606#:
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.

- *Dial 606# and enter the magical land of XtraTime.
- Select the amount you desire, like a knight choosing his noble steed (except it's airtime, not a horse). A list of available amounts will appear. Choose wisely, grasshopper.
- Confirm your selection, my friend. The system will display the chosen amount and the service fee (a small price to pay for communication salvation). Double-check and confirm if you're ready to embrace borrowed airtime glory.
And voila! Your phone should be credited with the borrowed airtime, minus the service fee. Now you can call your grandma, flirt with your crush, or argue with internet strangers – the possibilities are endless (well, almost endless, depending on your borrowing limit).
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Remember, Responsibly Does It!
While XtraTime is a lifesaver in a pinch, remember to borrow responsibly. Only borrow what you can comfortably repay on your next recharge. Don't get caught in a cycle of borrowing and end up owing more than you can handle.
So there you have it, folks! Now you know how to borrow airtime with MTN and avoid those awkward "call ended" messages. Use this newfound knowledge wisely, and may your conversations never be interrupted by the dreaded low credit monster again!
