What is MTN Xtratime
MTN XtraTime refers to a package or service that lets you borrow airtime whenever you run out of airtime so you can pay later. However, MTN deducts a 10% service charge fee from the airtime you borrowed, so if you borrow N200, you will get N180 instead of N200.
This service was introduced by MTN back in 2014 and to be eligible to borrow airtime on MTN, you must have been a subscriber on the network for at least 3 months and also recharge your line regularly.
