Glo advertised their prepaid 3g data service in the punch of 19th October, 2009. its similar to MTN. it has a day pack of 24hrs (N500), month packs qualified as min and max for around N10K or so, and data charged as per volume. i couldnt get to bring the paper home so cant remember the precise names and cost. A quick check on their site revealed nothing. So i decided to try the day pack. i sent 'activate' to 127 and got the options. N500 was deducted and acknowledged but i subsequently was billed on PAYG and i lost my remaining credit. i was not put on the day pack even though i was charged for it. it was really fast i must say. i managed to get through to customer care. they couldnt help. they refered me to a number Glo itself says it doesnt exists. 10 hrs in to my 24hrs i still cant browse. on the plan. i cant bear another 30 mins on the phone waiting my turn for customer care. Does anybody have any info on this latest glo offering, any experience? i thought with glo 1 all fired up data will be cheaper. whats your take? [color=][/color][color=][/color]

getting acivated is hell. see why I love my MTN?

How do i activate my glo line without calling the c.c n visitin the outlets?

@tunnex
y dnt u try sending "aCTIVATE" to 127 or 444 n lets c how dat goes?

jst tot of anoda tin. . . . is dere 3G coverage where u r now?

simply subscribing to any of the package thru sms to 127 should get you activated for the 3G service. the main issue is having the right access point or 3G configurations on your phone. i tried the all day 50mB plan. i got the 3G signal showing on my phone but can't browse. i have 5 access points including the 3G settings. none worked. with MTN this can't happen. you can use any MTN access points to browse. glo should have just one access point that works regardless of the package.

flyuche u wan start again abi ? Lyk yu did wit zain 3G

Funny tin is wen i activated my line dey didnt include d glo3gvideo APN but i was stil able 2 browse wit glosecure APN(i.e per kb) n also mk video calls wit my fone( tho @ neck-brkn charges!!)

same here, ave activated 2 prepaid sims already and de r showing 3g signals but I cant browse. I figured one has to use it with their modem, the cofiguration shld be in d modem. Anyone with their modem should let us know the APN and USERNAME/PASSWORD for the prepaid 3g.

finally the my glo 3.5G is browsing, both on phone and PC. mehn!! the speed is very good. pages open swiftly. is like i will berth my ship here. i am using my laptop's in built modem right now.

Wel am currently on fone nw tru GLOSECURE apn & its quite ok, wil try it on pc via pc suite & probly my usb modem since it works tru urs

how do i check my data status / duration

send INFO to 127
cheers

Any ISP that puts a download limit is bullshit! Damn what the phuck is 3GB?? Its phucking annoying!! Maybe its because of the electricity, cause their masts run on diesel 24/7. . . Nonetheless 15GB per month won't be too bad

^^^

abi. . .15gb would be manageable!

True talk.In fact,u make sense

All these telecoms coy sef. imagine just 3 GB, before you download a movie, its all over. i heard starcomms and multilinks offer fair usage of 20 GB and beyond. How true is this info? I dont think starcomms and multlinks download speed is as fast of that of glo.

of course glo's speed is way ahead of starcomms n multilinksbut i dtn tink deres a fair usage or download limit on starcomms. . . . last month a friend of mine did about 80GB and for the past two weeks have been doing an avg of 1.5GB and also am sure of tonite . . . so do the maths and u will know if dere's fair usage or download limit or not.

am using the multilinks 20g limit right now to browse. its 3500 per month 12am-8am
the 50, 100. 150 and 250 hrs plan are unlimited
am only sure of the 50hr plan as 3500 cos i was on it before. multilinks is totally worth it! bloody fast too.their ads are evrywhere. if you can check the punch of Aug 2 for the price regime. daz where i saw the new offerings.

A nigga is England told me, he was on 40GB per month, the price, when converted to Naira was just 3k dang. . . . we need some more competition in this industry. . . Its a bloody rip off.
The hunger and thirst of unlimited bandwidth
