Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.![]()
- Sell your slightly-used (read: slightly-hoarded) possessions online. Remember, one person's trash is another person's treasure (or at least, a quick buck for airtime).
- Offer your services as a freelance anything. From dog walking to virtual tutoring, there are endless possibilities to turn your skills into cold, hard cash (or, in this case, cold, hard airtime).
- Host a garage sale (or a digital garage sale on Facebook Marketplace). Just be prepared to bargain like a pro and channel your inner auctioneer to get the best deals.
Disclaimer: This method may require effort and minimal shame, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures (and creative problem-solving).

Option 3: Explore the Airtel Thanks App (But Read the Fine Print!)
Airtel offers a service called Airtel Advance through their Airtel Thanks App. While it's not exactly "interest-free," the convenience factor is undeniable. Just remember to read the terms and conditions carefully before borrowing, and make sure you can repay the advance within the stipulated timeframe.
Remember: Being responsible is key, or you might find yourself in a bigger financial pickle than a jar of expired pickles.
There you have it, folks! A tongue-in-cheek guide to navigating the treacherous waters of low airtime. Remember, a little resourcefulness and a dash of humor can go a long way in these cash-strapped times. Just don't forget to pay back your friends (and Airtel) if you choose the borrowing route, or you might end up needing a loan for your damaged reputation as well!
