MTN has decided to restore Xtratime service which was once halted.
MTN Nigeria has restored its XtraTime service, bringing relief to millions of subscribers who rely on the airtime advance feature during emergencies and periods of low balance.
Recall that the service, which allows eligible customers to borrow airtime and repay on their next recharge, was temporarily suspended following a new compliance requirement introduced by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
The company announced the suspension in a notice signed by its Company Secretary, Uto Ukpanah.
“MTN Nigeria Communications PLC hereby notifies the Nigerian Exchange Limited and the investing public that the company has temporarily suspended its airtime and data credit advance service (‘XtraTime’),” the notice read.
However, MTN has now confirmed the restoration of the service through a text message sent to subscribers, informing them that they can once again access airtime loans.
The message reads: “Good news! Airtime loan is back! Access up to N1,295 loan when you dial *303# and stay connected.”
