But Wait, There's a Catch (Like There Always Is)
Before you go on a borrowing spree, here are a few things to remember:
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.![]()
- XtraTime is for the chosen ones: You gotta be a prepaid customer with MTN for at least three months to qualify. Sorry, postpaid peeps, you're on your own this time.
- There's a limit, people: Don't go wild thinking you can borrow enough to buy a new phone. The amount you can borrow depends on your spending habits with MTN. The more you spend, the more you can borrow (within reason, of course).
- It comes with a price: There's a service fee attached to borrowing airtime. Think of it as a small thank you to MTN for saving you from communication oblivion.
