GLO Cheating Us Of Data by J0sh007: 2:01am On Oct 12, 2013
A month ago around the time when Glo rolled out their bounce plan i remember a nairalander stating that the 30mb bonus per 200naira recharge is actually less than 30mb in practice. Then a few weeks ago a friend was lamenting to me about same but i didnt take him serious. I use glo gbam and i use the 5mb daily bonus as just an extra source of data until recently that i started using it full time that i noticed that the 5mb was not even up to that in practice. My browser records an amount of data usage for a session and when i check my data balance what i have left is far less than what it ought to be. I even used other networks to compare my browser data usage with my balances and it was accurate! Why would they do that if its just 3mb u'll give us for g-bam just say and if its 10mb for bounce talk am make we sabi haba na by force to give free data?! Anyone else noticed this?

The G-BAM free data have no issues, not even from day 1 of its launched, so, verify your claims. Meanwhile, that's what I have been using for the past 4 days now.

As for the Bounce, yes, there were issues regarding the real amount of data GLO were offering. It was less than 8MB initially but now, it has been corrected. 30MB is now actually 30MB, no more, no less.

However, the challenge I am currently facing with the free Bounce data bonus is the fact that, all my Emails are synching but it refused to connect me to the Internet for 4 days running now.
Does anyone have the same issue with their free Bounce data bonus?

Well, I have been using my free 30MB data bonus since 2PM today and I still have 26MB remaining right now.
So, I don't think what you are saying is correct because, GLO have since resolved the problems on the free Bounce data bonus. Thank you.

When I switched off hotspot, my Balance was 70MB. Another time i picked my phone to browse, i first checked the balance and i was alarmed when i saw 28MB. I opened Flipboard for 5 minutes, the data went down to 7MB. Glo is being dishonest about the 30MB bonus.

You can say that again bro and in fact their new style of scamming people now is through their browsing data . Glo 4gb is just 3gb but you won't notice that if you are not checking on the graph

Meanwhile, Just for the Records.

Despite being the SN0, they still behave like mtn in high costs, act like airtel in bad data connectivity and instead of updating their networks, they hoplessly waste tons of money on advertising like etisalat.

Glo is one of the greatest Telcom fraud ever known to Nigerians and Africans.


And thats a Nigerian company that has never been competitive, with shody CC services. They expect you to stay awake calling their substandard CC. And some guys think the rubbish network is doing them fine by using their airtime to call CC for assistance.

Instead of driving the costs of internet connection down, the Glo-.1 project is just a publicity stunt, a non functional paper work and a complete mirage in the annals of Internet Connection.

If I can get paid for doing a Nice Job, l expect nothing less for the services am paying.


Glo .1mb = .100kb

on my 4n
Glo 5mb = 270kb l used.

I should be serious to join you in lying? That can't be na.
In case you don't know. I don't speak on hearsay about GLO, I speak on reality and what I have proved to be true because, GLO remain my one and only network of choice, even though I don't subscribe to their paid data subscription anymore.
Re: GLO Cheating Us Of Data by obi4eze(m): 8:14am On Oct 17, 2013
I don't just understand what's happening to glo. I use airtel on my PC but glo bounce free data on my phone and it's just not funny at all. Right now, I have 21MB as free data but I can't browse the internet. This has been going on for a while and I called their CC and they told me to switch off my phone, remove my SIM and reinsert it but it didn't work. This may be a new way of attracting customers and scamming them.

Maybe Oga luluosas is a special customer cheesy For me, glo bounce is a scam.

Please, what is my offence here? I simply told you that I can't speak ill of what is not true on my path and you turned it to mean that, I luluosas, is calling people liars.
Anyway, please, whosoever feel offended by my comments, I apologize to you all. I am very sorry for painting you people as liars. Please, forgive me all. Thank you.

@aceTS, ah! You ought to know before now that I have no form of relationship whatsoever with GLO. I am simply a satisfied subscriber, who at the same do antagonize GLO, when they offer me less than satisfactory service.
Thank you.
