QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.![]()
- It's a Loan, Not Free Money: You'll need to pay back the borrowed data amount, plus a small service charge (think of it as an interest rate for the data fairy's magic).
- Not Everyone Qualifies: Airtel checks your account history to see if you're a responsible borrower. So, if you're notorious for skipping out on recharges, you might be out of luck.
- Data Limits Apply: The amount of data you can borrow is usually small, just enough to get you by until your next recharge.
