Globacom’s Borrow Me Credit is a service that allows qualified users to
request for airtime from Glo on loan when you have run out of airtime. The
service allows you to
borrow N50, N100, N200, N500 and N1,000 to be paid back
on your next recharge within a specified period.
I have used both the manual and auto borrow aspects of the service. See
my experience with the manual Borrow Me Credit here on MobilityArena.com: Borrow
Me Credit.
Some months ago, I decided to give the auto recharge aspect a try as
well. While it works, it has one annoying weakness: many times, there is a
delay in Glo’s system and you don’t get credited with the airtime immediately.
The whole idea behind auto borrow is that the user should have access to
airtime when he needs it. Many times, the delay means that one still as to get
airtime some other way first – and then the system credits your line later
after the urgency is past. In other words, one is paying for a service that
often doesn’t deliver when one needs it.
Eventually, I decided to disable the auto recharge feature. If I really
need to borrow credit, I will do it manually. Here’s what to do to opt out of
auto borrow.
To stop auto recharge on Borrow Me Credit
The service works around the *321# short code.
To stop the auto recharge service, dial *321#, then press “1” for auto
borrow, and then press “2” to cancel. You should get an SMS notifying you that
you have successfully opted out of Auto Borrow service.
