How to XtraTime Like a Boss
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Here's where things get exciting. You have two options to become an XtraTime master:
- *Dial 303# and navigate the friendly menu. It's like playing a choose-your-own-adventure game, but instead of dragons, you get to pick how much airtime you need.
- For the tech-savvy folks, there's the 1362# code. Just punch it in, and MTN will do its magic.
Important Side Note: Not Everyone Gets to Play XtraTime
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Before you go on a borrowing spree, there's a catch. XtraTime is like an exclusive club, and not everyone gets in. MTN has its own criteria, so you might not be eligible if you're new to the network or haven't been topping up regularly. But hey, it never hurts to try!

XtraTime: Use it Wisely, Grasshopper
While XtraTime is a lifesaver in a pinch, it's not meant to be a permanent solution. Try to manage your airtime wisely and avoid relying on it too often. Remember, adulting is all about responsibility, even when it comes to phone calls.
So there you have it! Now you're equipped with the knowledge to navigate the world of MTN's XtraTime. Use it wisely, stay responsible, and remember, a little planning goes a long way in avoiding those awkward "insufficient balance" moments.
