This promises to be a good one as things get real difficult this days and everyone having owed MTN upto N700 +borrowed airtime finds it difficult to pay back and still yet you just have to in other to clear the debts and subscribe to a data plan, since MTN is your preferred data sim.

How about you just have N1000 to subscribe for a monthly plan and you borrowed N750 from your MTN line?

Most especially this would save lots of people from thinking on how to pay off their Borrowed debts in other to subscribe to a data plan.
Using myself as a case study, I once borrowed MTN airtime worth N1500 and after then I used N1000 for monthly subscription and the remaining for night plans. So after exhausting my MTN monthly data plan, I was heavy in heart on how I would pay off my borrowed MTN airtime worth N1500 and not forgetting I was out of the internet because my data was exhausted.
Checking my bank account balance, I had just N1100  while i was owing N1500.


I looked for ways in getting to subscribe to a plan without having to pay off my debt since I wasn’t having enough funds to clear the debts and still subscribe to a plan. Finally an idea came which helped out a lot, and that is just what I am about to share with you today. Cheers 🥂
