Running out of airtime at the worst possible moment is about to become less of a problem for Glo users. Globacom has expanded its “Borrow Me Credit” service, a strategic initiative designed to ensure that no subscriber is ever disconnected due to a low or zero balance. Glo announced the expansion in a statement issued in Lagos, explaining that the eligibility criteria for the service has been streamlined to provide instant airtime and data solutions to millions of active prepaid customers across the country.
The biggest update is that the service now goes beyond just helping you personally. The enhanced “Borrow Me Credit” service now includes the ability for subscribers to “Borrow Special Data” and also “Borrow Airtime/Data for Others.” This means Glo users can now act as a backup plan for people around them too. This allows Glo customers to act as a lifeline for friends and family members who may be out of reach or unable to recharge immediately, strengthening the bonds of the Glo community through shared connectivity.
Glo summed up the purpose of the service simply. Whether it is an urgent business call, a late-night research project, or staying in touch with loved ones during an emergency, the company said “Borrow Me Credit” ensures that a low balance never results in a zero-communication experience.
According to Glo, the service caters to a wide range of customer needs, with airtime and data denominations available from as low as N25 up to N4,000, giving subscribers flexible options depending on what they need at the time. This range means the service can cover anything from a quick top-up to make an urgent call, to a more substantial data bundle for work or school use.
It is important to know this convenience does come at a small cost. Glo clearly stated that while a service charge applies, the primary goal remains providing immediate relief during moments when a customer has a low balance. The company has not published the exact charge amount in this statement, so subscribers should check the details directly with Glo before borrowing, to avoid any surprises.

Not every Glo user will be offered the same borrowing limit. The company explained that the structure of the service is designed to give higher borrowing limits to customers with a stronger usage profile and greater engagement on the network.
In other words, the more consistently you use your Glo line, the more credit you are likely to be trusted with when you need to borrow. By maintaining a consistent presence on the network, prepaid customers unlock different tiers of credit and data, ranging from basic emergency airtime to substantial data plans, with the most frequent and engaged users getting access to the highest limits.
Getting started with the service is straightforward. All eligible Glo prepaid customers are encouraged to explore the benefits of “Borrow Me Credit” by simply dialing *303# and choosing from the available airtime or data options. Customers can also visit the official Globacom website for more information regarding eligibility criteria and the service charge policy.

Borrowing airtime is not a new concept in Nigeria, most networks offer some version of it. But Glo’s expanded service stands out by letting subscribers extend that lifeline to someone else, not just themselves. For Glo users who often find themselves bailing out family members or friends stuck with no credit, this update could turn a familiar inconvenience into something a lot easier to fix, right from your own phone.
