Glo Data Plan For Android, iOS, Windows, Modem
No matter how good a deal from a network service provider may appear, it is done in a bid to improve business profitability. Glo was able to attract quite a huge number of subscribers with a new data plan only to slash the data volume in half and issue a new clause months later.
Before the new clause was introduced in April 2017, all Glo customers were able to get 1.6 GB of data for as low as ₦500. The cheapest was the daily plan of 30 MB for ₦50 and the most expensive was the monthly plan of 45 GB for ₦18,000. However, these are still possible if the user meets some REQUIREMENTS outlined below:
- All NEW Customers to the Glo network would enjoy the previous data volume, now referred to as “double data volume”
- All Existing/OLD customers who continue to subscribe will enjoy double data volume.
- However, customers who fail to renew their subscription within 3 Days of Expiry of their data plans would lose out on the double data volume BUT get HALF Data Volume for the SAME PRICE.
The Table Below, outlines, daily, weekly and monthly Glo Data Plans for Android, iOS, Windows and Modem Devices.

Glo Data Plan For Blackberry 10
Starting from December 17, 2016, Glo discontinued their service to Blackberry phones using the BB OS 7 and below. However, they stuck with the Blackberry 10 and higher devices.
Customers who still had data on their BB OS 7 devices were asked to switch to the BB 10 or higher devices to continue using their data. All Glo data bundles made for the BB OS 7 including the BB Complete, Absolute and BIS plans are now defunct.
Just as in the Android, iOS and Windows, Glo created a unified data plan for BB 10 devices meaning that the same data plan gives access to 2G, 3G and 4G LTE.

The aforementioned 3-Day Grace period also applies to the BB 10 plans. If customers purchase or renew their BB 10 data plan within 3-days of expiry or exhaustion, they will receive the double data volume (100%), else, their next data value would be split in half.
