How To Borrow Data From MTN With the XtraByte Top-up Service

Now, what do you do when you run out of data and don’t have the cash to renew your subscription immediately? You borrow, isn’t it? And that is why, today, I’ll be showing you how to borrow data from MTN and pay later, using the MTN XtraByte top-up service.

So;

What is the MTN XtraByte?

How to borrow data from MTN with the MTN XtraByte

Simple, like the XtraTime, XtraByte is a top-up service offered by the telecommunications giant, MTN, that lets you top up or borrow data with your MTN line, and payback on your next recharge.

But unlike the XtraTime where you’ll be charged a 15.36% fee on every airtime you borrow, with XtraByte, there are no fees attached to it, so, if you borrow, let’s say 100MB worth of data, you’ll actually be getting 100MB credited to your data balance.

Sounds dope, right?

Now, let’s see how you can actually borrow some data on our MTN lines, using the XtraByte top-up service.
