But First, Things You Gotta Know:
- This is strictly for prepaid users. My postpaid friends, you'll have to use your Jedi mind tricks on customer service for this one.
- You gotta be on the network for at least 3 months. They gotta know you're not just some fly-by-night airtime borrower, right?
- There's a service fee involved. But hey, it's better than being completely out of touch, right? Just be sure you can pay it back soon.
Alright, Alright, How Do I Borrow Already?
There are two ways to do this, both equally painless and drama-free:
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
Method 1: The USSD Code Caper

- Grab your phone and open the dialer app. It's the one that looks like a phone, duh.
- *Dial 303# and press send. This is like the secret handshake to the XtraTime club.
- Select "XtraTime" from the menu. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward.
- Choose your preferred loan amount from the list. They offer various options, so pick the one that fits your needs (and your wallet).
- Review the confirmation message, which will show the amount you're borrowing and the service fee. Make sure everything looks good.
- If you're happy with everything, press 303 again to confirm the transaction.
Method 2: The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Intrigue
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
- Dial 303 and press send. This will connect you to the IVR system, which is basically a fancy talking robot.
- Select your preferred language. Don't worry, the robot speaks multiple languages, just like that cool polyglot friend you have.
- When prompted, choose "XtraTime". The robot will walk you through the process.
- Select your desired loan amount from the options given.
- Listen to the confirmation message and press the key corresponding to "yes" if you agree to the terms.
And voila! You should receive a confirmation message that your airtime loan has been approved. Now you can go forth and conquer the world (or at least make that important call/order that pizza/avoid the carrier pigeon route).
Remember, use this service responsibly and pay it back as soon as possible. Nobody likes a deadbeat borrower, not even your friendly neighborhood airtime fairy godmother.
