Glo Introduces “Borrow Me Credit”

Globacom, national operator, has introduced ‘Borrow Me Credit’, a unique product that enables prepaid subscribers to receive airtime on an advance basis when they run out of airtime during emergency periods or when Airtime vendors are not easily accessible, as part of its continuous efforts to deliver more value to its subscribers.

The new product allows prepaid subscribers on the Glo network to send a request to a specified USSD code under emergency situations and receive airtime of different denominations, depending on their profile on the network. The initial denominations available are N50, N100, N200, N500 and N1000.

According to Adeniyi Olukoya, Globacom’s marketing co-ordinator,  “BORROW ME CREDIT” is the first of its kind in the country. It is a testimony to the trust that Glo has placed in its loyal subscribers as well as an evidence of Glo’s commitment to ensuring that its customers are totally unlimited as they pursue their dreams.

“Within minutes of requesting for the service, subscribers will receive the airtime requested and get confirmation through a text message. The credited money is taken back from the Glo prepaid subscriber when he recharges his account next time”, he said.

Olukoya explained that the credit can be used like a normal recharge for making outgoing calls, sending SMS as well as uploading and downloading data on the internet.

“Globacom recognizes that, sometimes, there are situations when customers run out of account balance, either late at night or while travelling and they have to look for where to buy recharge cards to top up their accounts. This product will save them from unnecessary stress and make it easy to get airtime for such emergencies”, he said. “To receive airtime credit, subscribers only need to dial *321# and follow the instructions ”, he added.
