So, you borrowed some airtime from Airtel and now you're feeling the suspense? ️♀️
Fear not, fellow penny pincher (or maybe you're a high roller, no judgment here ), checking your Airtel loan balance is easier than remembering your childhood best friend's middle name (unless it's something super unique like "Danger" or "Moonbeam").
Here are a few ways to unravel the mystery of your remaining borrowed airtime:
1. Dial it Up with USSD (gasp, what's that?!)
Tip: Write down what you learned.
USSD stands for Unstructured Supplementary Service Data, but you can just call it a fancy code that your phone and Airtel use to chat. To check your loan balance, simply dial 5000# on your phone and press the call button.
Voila! In a flash (or maybe slightly slower depending on your internet speed), you'll see the remaining amount of your borrowed airtime displayed on your screen.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
2. The "Thanks" App: Your Pocket-Sized Airtel Butler

If you're more of a "there's an app for that" kind of person, then the Airtel Thanks app is your best friend. Download it from the app store, log in with your phone number, and navigate to the "Services" section. There, nestled amongst all the other options, you'll find your loan balance displayed in all its glory.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
3. Calling Customer Care: When All Else Fails
Sometimes, tech just lets us down. But fear not, there's always the trusty Airtel customer care. Dial 121 and follow the prompts to connect with a customer service representative. They'll be happy to assist you with checking your loan balance (and maybe even answer any other burning Airtel questions you might have).
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Remember: It's always wise to pay back your borrowed airtime as soon as possible to avoid any late fees or service disruptions.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling really fancy, you can also check your loan balance through SMS. But let's be honest, who still uses SMS these days? (Unless you're a secret texter extraordinaire, then more power to you!)
