Glo 4GLTE Is Now Available On Frequency Band 3 (1800) by lawddanny: 7:27pm On Aug 27, 2019
I was surprised just now when I turned on my glo data I saw 4G at the top of my phone.
That is a phone that doesn't support glo 4glte(band 28) before but it seems that glo has added a new band(band 3)





Reports reaching us now is that Glo 4G is now available on Band 3(1800). Recall earlier this year 2019, Glo announced its roadmap to extend their 4G LTE frequency to Band 3, which is also the same frequency Band with Airtel and 9mobile.


Users from different locations in Nigeria has confirmed that Glo 4G is now available on LTE Band 3(1800). Before now, Glo 4G frequency runs only on Band 28(700), which is not available on many Android phones in Nigeria.


With this new update, any 4G enabled phone can now support Glo 4G LTE. The hunt for phones that support Band 28 will come to an end. I’m sure with this, Glo will gain new subscribers.


While it has seemed that there has been no official statement from Globacom themselves, in a February 2019 press statement from the company, Globacom’s Group Technical Director, Sanjib Roy, stated;

This will come as a good news to millions of Glo subscribers whose phones do not have LTE Band 28 frequency. The rollout of Globacom’s Band 3 is still quite slow but can be expected to widen quickly over the next coming months.

This doesn't improve the sluggish network strength in many areas

Good day.

Will this Glo LTE band 3 work on Tecno Pouvoir 2?

Just got off the phone with glo on their 444 dedicated 4g customer care number and they are insisting that theirs is band 28. I had to call them after inserting my glo 4g sim into my Samsung Galaxy A10 4g phone and it didn't work. I think most of those guys in customer care don't know a jack about current info.

Different strokes for different folks. Glo 4G LTE is my best & most stable 4G network among the 3 networks I use i.e. MTN, Airtel & Glo. Their 4G is always available & stable unlike the other two.

I don't know if there's band 3 in Jos at the moment. I've been on band 28 for more than a year. The speed is lightening in my neighborhood. Jos North

Is Band 3 more powerful network spectrum than Band 28 or it's prefferd because it covers more devices?

All you copycats with no skill or creativity. You think Entclassblog.com doesn't write his own articles? When I see my article, I know it.

Go and tell that copycat (where u copied from) to leave credit back to Entclassblog
