How To Enjoy Glo Data Plan? How To Become Master Of Your Glo Data?

No argument the Glo data plan is not enjoyable. Especially in some rural areas, it is very slow and dumb. But what can you do when it is "the grand master of data", the only network that gives you 4GB of data for just N1000? — "All that glitters is not gold" right? — Switching is just out of the question because it's like jumping out from a frying pan into a fire.

How To Enjoy Glo Data Plan? How To Become Master Of Your Glo Data?

But what if I tell you that there are certain tricks and precautions to take for you to enjoy the Glo data? You can find all the answers to this question in the remaining sections of this post.

N/B: There's a new version of this post, check Mastering the Glo Data Plan in 2024: Tips for Optimal Enjoyment

Understand How The Access Point (APN) Connect

Understanding how your phone's Access Point Names (APN) connect can boost your internet connection. The default APN is gloflat — but if you consider interchanging it to either glowap or glosecure, there's a chance that the network will boost

How to change your APN

If you're using Android, go to Settings—Network—Access Points, touch the icon to add a new APN. Input these setups;

Name: Glo
APN: glosecure or glowap
Username: (you can leave this blank) or input web or gprs
Password: (you can leave this blank) or input web or gprs

The same thing goes to iPhone users; go to Settings—Cellular—Cellular Data Options—Cellular Data Networks and input the above setup.

Control How You Use Your Data

Another predicament is how your data got sucked up quickly not as expected. If you're experiencing such a problem, there are either one of two things at work.

There's an app running in the background that consumes your data
Someone is sharing your data

How to monitor your phone data consumption

If you're using an Android phone, you should be familiar with Data Usage feature. Which you can find in the Settings of your phone. And if you're an iPhone user, you should also be familiar with Cellular Data Usage. Which is also found in the Settings. These two features are powerful, handy and accurate. You can use either of them to monitor how your apps use your data, set Billing cycle and restrict background or unwanted apps from using your data.

How to know if someone is sharing your data

Sharing of data with a maximum of 5 people is a very useful feature introduced by Globacom, which people use for sharing their data subscription with their loved ones. But to most of us, this new feature is a "Blessing in disguise". You may not know that someone is sharing your data without your consent, and that is why your data doesn't last as expected. Here is how to deal with this problem.

Dial *127*00#: This will reveal the list of numbers sharing your data subscription
To remove a number from sharing your data subscription, Dial *127*02*Number#

Incentive: How to browse with the Glo bonus

You may have got to a situation where you have a bunch of bonus data but you can not browse with it. All you have to do to solve this problem is to send a text containing PAYU to 127 and your phone will start browsing with your bonus data.

Conclusion:

After reading this post, you must have understood what you have to do for you to enjoy the Glo Data Plan. But if you're living in an area where the service is totally poor, then I have no choice but to tell you to switch to another Network.

And finally, I'm wishing you a happy new month of December. May this month bring many opportunities to your way, to attain every happiness and success of life.
