I was at glo Abuja office today, they told me that their mifi now is 27k

This is serious. Well, I'm glad I already got one.

nurez305:
sorry, I thought for 10gig is 10k.,,, are you sure is 20k?

MTN has increased it to 20k. They've always said it's for a limited time. By the way, it comes with 20gb, not 10gb.

Dam5reey:
Their plan work on both 4G and 3G even 2G..

I traveled to a location where i get only 3G.. I was able to use my data...

MTN no get special 4G plans

Well, this particular data OP is talking about is the bonus given to old customers, and can only be used on a 4G SIM and a compatible 4G phone. The idea is to encourage those who haven't upgraded their Sims to do so.

In fact, your network mode must be on '4G LTE Only' for it to work. If it switches to 3G, it stops browsing.

I have the data on five sims, and only two that I have upgraded to 4G are browsing.

FellaL:
nooo their 4g is the same no difference

You haven't used it, yet you are making pronouncement on it.

OP, before the launch of Glo LTE, I use to abandon my data plan because I couldn't use it due to slow 3G network. But ever since I tried Glo LTE, I've been very satisfied. It's fast and has low latency, which makes web pages load very quickly.

The only downside to Glo LTE is its uncommon band 28. I had to get Spectranet Huawei E5573s-606 MiFi because of that. Though you can get the Glo LTE MiFi for 10k in case you don't have a compatible LTE phone.

cassyrooy:
still needed

How far? Let me know when you get one. I'm also in need of it in Abuja. These things are darn plenty in Lagos, and easily gotten there. But here in Abuja, it's a herculean task finding them.

Etisalat only has 4G in Lagos, and no place else.

PrinzCarter:
Help out if you have an idea ,

First of all, it only works on a 4G SIM and a compatible 4G phone. So, No, there is no way it would work on a 3G only phone.

It's clearly written on the screen that it's stolen, and that it should be returned. So, criminals now openly market stolen phones here.

mojeed4:
Have you tried it before? Stop spreading false information bro.
I have been using the double data before, and I tried doing the pulse of a thing to get more data, but no device bonus was given to me.
Do not TRY to do the pulse weekly sub for double data. I think the normal weekly data of 750mb is better, cos you will also get another 750mb bonus making a total of 1.5gb. soft.

Device bonus also applies to the weekly. 750mb is the normal data given to other tariffs, but pulse users are given 1gb instead. Now, if you are a pulse user and also qualify for the device bonus, 2gb is what you get.

authenticman:
Hav u tried it this year 2017 and it worked? What I knkw MTN said was that the bonus is for certain devices, e.g.samsung and that tge promo was billed to end in Dec 2016. So let us know if its still working

I'm not sure about this. The last time I subscribed and I was given the device bonus was on 30th of December.

royaldiadem:
am browsing for free on my Ntel sim without a sub and i dont even know how.....i have used over 25gb so far in two days.God is great oooo.

I've experienced that too, in the past. Eventually, the system will find you out.

wunderkiind:
the GLO 4G MiFi from GLO has been out of stock for quite a while now... Yet they keep disturbing me when it's not even available anywhere. I guess you must have gotten yours many months ago.

Yeah. Got mine as soon as they reduced the price to 10k.

abidemidare:
I have one mtn mifi unlocked, works with ntel, mtn, Glo, eti.

Contact me 08062466118

You should have let the OP know that Huawei E5573s-320 and E5573cs-322, which MTN both issue, don't support Glo LTE band 28, so Glo 3G is all one can get from those MiFi.

OP is looking for a MiFi that supports LTE bands of ntel, MTN, Glo and Etisalat, and the easily gotten one in Nigeria is Huawei E5573s-606.

REVEREND1:
Thank you for your suggestion, I really appreciate. Can I get the the software to unlock it easily?

It's not a straight forward process. Here is a thread where we discussed extensively on how to unlock it. Just go through it https://www.nairaland.com/3429120/been-able-unlock-mtn-4g/6

double0seven:
j4parry and dustmalik,

Please what area of Lagos do you guys reside? Also, which phone you guys using?

Does the 4G LTE kills battery faster?

I reside in Abuja, and I use both Huawei E5573s-606 and E5377bs-508 for Glo LTE. As for battery, there really isn't noticeable difference between 4G LTE and 3G.

I haven't seen such flash message on my phone, But if there is such a plan, it would be nice.

But if you are on Pulse, and are qualified for the 100% device data bonus, then you can get 10gb for #2,500. Here is how;

Once you subscribe for #500/750mb weekly plan, as a pulse user, who also qualifies for 100% data bonus, you would be given 2gb.

double0seven:
but what about their 4g LTE? Is there anyone on it, or knows anyone who is on it.

trying to get a phone with 28(700) which Glo uses. My theory is that is that it should be terribly fast since not many people will be on it.

You could get Spectranet Huawei E5573s-606 or Glo's Huawei E5377bs-508. But if you prefer a phone, get either Alcatel Onetouch pop 4 plus or pop 4 s. Or you could get the international variants of either LG G3 or G4, which both support band 28.

J4parry:
Glo 4G is reliably fast and efficient, It's best enjoyed if you have enough data because the data burn/consumption rate is almost 3x that of 3G. Speaking from experience.

I've used Glo LTE, and I didn't notice any abnormal data burning rate. Naturally, you are able to do more within a short period of time, probably why people tend to believe that LTE consumption rate is higher than 3G.

REVEREND1:
Good day all,

I am in urgent need of 4G LTE Mifi (Universal, unlocked or ready to be unlocked). My location is ABJ. Kindly let me know if you have for sale at cheap price.

NB: Your suggestion on which type/brand/specs to go for will be appreciated as well.

Thanks

If you can afford a new huawei E5573s-606, that would serve the purpose you want. That's what I did. I bought a new one from Spectranet, and it came with 30gb, for 25k. I then unlocked it.

bensonlee770:
The Federal Government seems to have increased electricity tarrif nationwide. The increment in tariff is by almost 50% as confirmed by the meter units purchased from Benin Electricity Distribution Company this morning.
One of the staff of the BEDC spoken with confirmed the increment took effect on the 1st of January this year.
The new tarrif is now #31.27/unit .It used to be sold at #24.80k/unit.
It is surprising this was done without public knowledge.

Any proof of this?

Unlimited22:
Does it support glo 4g and mtn 4g?

You could buy Alcatel POP 4 Plus from Konga, which also supports GLO LTE band 28. here is the link to it www.konga.

Rajman45:
is d 4gig working, cause dem dey deduct frm my monthly plan

It's working on two of my 4G sims, but I don't have normal data plans on those sims.

DahtDopeBoi:
Good afternoon house! I own an unlocked huawei E5331s-2 wifi router and I will like to ask if it supports 4G network. Thanks!

It's a 3G mifi, not 4G.

kinesis:
SOLD SOLD SOLD

Congrats, man.

Rafob:
Is it true when you are on 4g one can not receive or make call pls answer to the questions. I mean with 4g Sim.

You can't make VoLTE calls on both MTN and Glo LTE because they don't support VoLTE, but you can still receive and make calls over 3G and 2G.

If you have a Glo or MTN 4G LTE sim, make sure the network mode of your phone is set to 2G/3G/4G mode, so that even if you are on 4G, when a call is coming through, your network mode automatically switches to either 2G or 3G. Same happens when you try to make a call. So it is not a problem at all.

yusufficient:
MTN SHAAa .... THEY CAN GIVE YOU SOMETHING FOR FREE .. BUH THEY MUST PUT YOU IN CONDITION... WERE NETWORK...

Wanna ask how many of you guyz here has mtn 4Gb Sim .... Be honest..

Mtn I no wan swear ooo... NA NEW YEAR WE DEY ooo

I have over four 4G Sims. They've been asking people to come and upgrade their Sims, but some people refused, so it isn't mtn's fault.

WhyNa:
Pls do you active sub? cos I'm being charged from my active sub and not the vinus

No, I don't have active data on any of the sims.

2Mekus:
I think you are dead right bro. I paid 15k to get it, only to realise it doesn't serve the purpose for which I bought it. Can it be downgraded to 606 to be able to use it on Glo? Any idea/help on this pls?

No, it can't. You just have to get a 606 or E5377bs-508.

guydangerous:
do you use any special mtn apn settings and when you texted or typed 2 to 131 and *131*4# respectively what response did you get.

I use the normal apn. It doesn't show an active data when you dial *131*4# or 2 to 131. The only way to see the remaining data is to dial *559*444#

iliyande:
Wow, hilarious

Hope glo's own never change?

Not yet, but I suspect they will follow suit. You know how these networks are.
