Dial-a-Loan: This is the classic method, perfect for those who like a touch of old-school charm. Simply whip out your phone and dial the following codes, depending on what you need:
- Airtime: Dial *303# (remember, this is for YOU, not your friend!)
- Data: Dial *321# (because let's be honest, sometimes staying connected requires data, not just calls)
-
The Digital Route: Feeling tech-savvy? Head over to the Glo website or My Glo App and navigate to the "Borrow Me" section. It's like online shopping, but for airtime and data!
Remember: These methods are only available for active prepaid subscribers who meet Glo's eligibility criteria. Basically, you gotta be a good Glo customer to borrow the good stuff.

Now, the fun part! Glo offers a variety of borrowing options to suit your needs, like a buffet for your communication woes. Here's a quick rundown:
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.![]()
- Airtime: Need enough to make a quick call to your bestie and beg for a loan? Opt for the small amounts (N25 - N200).
- Data: Feeling the FOMO because your friends are sharing hilarious memes, and you're stuck in the data stone age? Grab a data loan (from 25MB to 2GB) to get back in the game.
Important Note: The bigger the loan, the bigger the service charge. So, borrow wisely, my friend!
The Payback Protocol: Returning What You Borrowed
Once you've enjoyed the borrowed airtime or data, it's time to settle the score. The borrowed amount, along with the service charge, will be deducted automatically from your next recharge.
Pro Tip: To avoid any late fees (because nobody likes those!), make sure you recharge your phone before the due date, which is usually 7 days from borrowing.
Borrowing on Glo: A Final Word (with a sprinkle of humor)

But hey, if you find yourself in a tight spot, knowing how to borrow on Glo can definitely be a lifesaver (or at least a meme-saver). Just use it responsibly, and remember, laughter is always the best medicine (even if it doesn't pay your phone bill).
