Glo's New Prepaid 3g Data Service
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:07 AM »

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]

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.

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.
