But first things first: are you even eligible?
- Be an MTN customer for at least 3 months. We can't have everyone borrowing data and disappearing into the internet abyss, can we?
- Have a good repayment history. Basically, MTN wants to know you're not some data-borrowing bandit who never pays back.
- Have enough credit on your line. This isn't a free data buffet, folks. You gotta have some "seed money" to qualify for the loan.
Now, onto the good stuff: borrowing data!
There are two main ways to do this:
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
*1. Dial 146# and follow the prompts. This is the classic "USSD code" method, perfect for those who prefer the simplicity of a good old-fashioned phone menu. Just remember, you might need your reading glasses for this one, those options can be tiny!
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
2. Use the MyMTN App. Download the app, log in, and navigate to the "Recharge" section. There you'll find the glorious "Borrow" option, like a beacon of hope in your time of digital need.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.

Important Note: Whichever method you choose, MTN XtraTime offers different data loan options, so choose the one that best fits your needs and repayability. Don't be that friend who borrows the twenty and forgets about it for a year!
Remember, borrowing data is a temporary solution, not a permanent fix.
So, use it wisely, pay it back promptly, and avoid becoming a chronic data borrower. Unless, of course, your job involves watching cat videos for a living, then by all means, borrow away!
But hey, at least you know you have options when the internet gods turn their backs on you. Now go forth and conquer the internet (responsibly)!
