Pls Do Not Buy 1.5gig Glo Data Bundle, Because Its A Big Scam! by porchster: 5:26pm On Feb 01, 2016
This is to inform all Glo subscribers that the 1.5 gig data bundle introduced to android phones users is totally a scam!

I ignorantly purchased Glo sim card to enjoy the awoof offer of 1.5gig for #1000 from Glo, to my greatest surprised I discovered that; I can't download,surf on net. Even when I called customer care line for about 3 times to fix the probs, they were unable to provide any solution to it.

Have been so devastated and angry with myself for been deceived.

Moreover,Sometimes when I on the data connectivity both the 2G and 3G network won't appear for 10-20 mints, even when it appears, it will be as useless as not switching on the data connection.

At first I thought the problem was with my phone, not until I tried other network especially Etisalat, that I now discovered that Glo scammed Nigerians.

I don't know if they reduced the speed of the network? or something else. The most annoying part is that, my data will soon expire in few days time and I still have about 60% of my data still hanging(unused).

@op porchster. ..

Why do you guys always shout SCAM whenever something doesn't go well with you? Is it not the same Glo 1.5gb for 1k that I am using to post this very comment? Please for God's sake if Glo network is bad in your area, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE SCAMMED! Pick up your dictionary and check the meaning of the word 'scam'.

I browse, download, stream etc with this data plan without any stress.

The best part is you can boost your data by using 500 naira to add 1gb to your existing plan.

You are not scammed. Thank you.

You will been in a data plan already.

For example if you are already in the 1.5gb for 1k, the data booster becomes important if your data is about to exhaust while your expiry date is still far.

To boost your data, dial *777#, press 1 for 'data services', 1 for 'buy data', 6 for 'boost data'.

I'm not a Glo staff. I don't live in Benin City so I don't know how strong the network is there.

Try using other networks if Glo is that bad.

The mistake you made is not testing the network first before investing that sum of money. I feel your pain bro. But saying Glo scammed you is so wrong.

This is to inform all Glo subscribers that the 1.5 gig data bundle introduced to android phones users is totally a scam!

I ignorantly purchased Glo sim card to enjoy the awoof offer of 1.5gig for #1000 from Glo, to my greatest surprised I discovered that; I can't download,surf on net. Even when I called customer care line for about 3 times to fix the probs, they were unable to provide any solution to it.

Have been so devastated and angry with myself for been deceived.

Moreover,Sometimes when I on the data connectivity both the 2G and 3G network won't appear for 10-20 mints, even when it appears, it will be as useless as not switching on the data connection.

At first I thought the problem was with my phone, not until I tried other network especially Etisalat, that I now discovered that Glo scammed Nigerians.

I don't know if they reduced the speed of the network? or something else. The most annoying part is that, my data will soon expire in few days time and I still have about 60% of my data still hanging(unused).


what device are u using?

Some old devices dont stream with Glo network. That i know for sure.

For over 2weeks nw, we can only browse using edge.the 3g signal is a no no. Calling customer care is worse compared to the network service. Most times, it takes like forever to pick calls. I wish I have a better option.

Actually you're the olodo here because configurations are done automatically these days.

@OP, the problem is your area, I am facing the same problem here, sometimes the network will disappear, sometimes it will show only 2g and the highest speed I can get on 3G is 105-120kbps but I get 5mbps - 9mbps with MTN.

The problem is not the data plan, it is the network in your area,
