How To Borrow Mtn Xtra Time |
But First, a Word of Caution (Because Responsible Borrowing is Cool, Kids)
Think of XtraTime like a good friend – always there to lend a helping hand (or in this case, airtime). However, just like with any loan, it's crucial to borrow responsibly. Make sure you can repay the borrowed amount on your next recharge, and avoid the temptation to become a chronic XtraTime user. Remember, even the best friends get tired of constantly being asked for money (or airtime, in this case).
Now, Onto the Fun Part: Borrowing XtraTime Like a Pro!
There are two main ways to become an XtraTime ninja:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.![]()
1. Dialing the Magical Code:
This method is perfect for those who like a touch of mystery in their airtime borrowing adventures. Simply whip out your phone, dial the enigmatic 1362#, and voila! You'll be presented with a menu that allows you to choose your XtraTime destiny (a.k.a. the amount you want to borrow).

*2. The 303# Menu Shuffle:
For the more tech-savvy individuals, there's the *303# menu. Just dial the code, navigate the labyrinthine options (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but with less snakes and more airtime), and select the "XtraTime" option. You'll then be presented with a list of borrowable amounts, allowing you to choose your airtime savior.

Important Note: Regardless of the method you choose, a service fee will be applied to your borrowed amount. So, read the confirmation message carefully before accepting the XtraTime loan.
And Finally, a Touch of Humor (Because Laughter is the Best Medicine, Even for Low Airtime Blues)
Remember, borrowing XtraTime is a temporary solution, not a permanent fix. So, the next time you find yourself in an airtime bind, use XtraTime wisely, and maybe consider setting a friendly reminder to top up your phone before your next social butterfly adventure!
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.![]()
P.S. If you happen to hear your phone singing the national anthem after borrowing XtraTime, don't worry, it's just a friendly reminder to top up soon. Just kidding (or am I?).
