Before I proceed, it is important to say that not everyone will be eligible to get credit from these telcos and it may be to one or more of these reasons:

• You have borrowed some credit in the past and refuse to pay back or recharge your line, so the system sees you as a defaulter
• You are still a JJC- Jolly Just Come, which means that if you just got your mobile phone number you may not be eligible to borrow credit, so we recommend continuing using your mobile number more frequently so you can be eligible to borrow credit in the future.
• You have borrowed not credit now, but data and refuse to pay back your arrears on internet data borrowed
• You always delay your payback, usually, you pay back after months, it can affect you getting borrowed credit at a later time.
• Could it be a network problem, you never can tell? Just retry if you are sure!
