on credit when they run out of data while browsing and pay back on their next recharge.
This is a welcome idea knowing that similar service was launched by MTN some years but was
only for airtime (call cards) so giving its subscribers the option to borrow data is a good innovation
because many people now prefer to have data on their Smartphones than having call airtime. Am
one of those that prefer data to airtime. I don't know about you.
Interesting thing about this offer is that you can borrow airtime through MTN XtraTime, also borrow
"data through XtraByte" as long as you are eligible for the services. So both voice and data options
are there for you.
