Borrowing data could be
useful most of the time. Data is life, and your smartphones could be of less
use to you at that time if you don't have it. Your mobile network provider has
got you covered when you run out of mobile data and don't have enough airtime
to buy a new bundle. Here's how to borrow data from all Nigerian networks; and
you should be on the network for at least 3 months before you can borrow data.
