AirtelTigo is here to save the day (and your social life) with their airtime borrowing service.
But Wait, There's a Catch (Like with Everything Good in Life)

So there you have it! Now you can navigate those Ghanaian social situations with a phone that's always ringing (or at least, not dead). Just remember, borrow wisely, and AirtelTigo will be your financial wingman (or wingwoman) in times of need.
