Why Share Data on Glo?
Before we dive into the “how-to” part, let’s briefly discuss why you might want to share data on Glo:
- Emergency Connectivity: Sharing data can be crucial during emergencies when someone needs internet access to contact family, friends, or emergency services.

How to Share Data on Glo
Glo offers a feature called “Glo EasyShare” that allows subscribers to share their data plans with others. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Set Up a PIN (Optional):
Before you can share data on Glo, you have the option to set up a PIN to secure your data sharing. To set up a PIN, follow these steps:
- Dial *127*0*0# on your Glo line.
- You’ll be prompted to create a PIN (a 4-digit number). Choose a PIN that’s easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
2. Share Data:
Now that you’ve set up a PIN (if desired), you can start sharing data:
- Dial *127*01*[Recipient’s Glo Number][Data Amount][PIN#], and then press the “Send” button.
- [Recipient’s Glo Number]: Enter the Glo number of the person you want to share data with.
- [Data Amount]: Specify the amount of data you want to share.
- [PIN#]: If you set up a PIN in step 1, enter it here. If you didn’t set up a PIN, you can skip this part.
- For example, if you want to share 1GB of data with a friend whose Glo number is 0805XXXXXXX and you’ve set up a PIN (e.g., 1234), you would dial 127010805XXXXXXX1024*1234# and press “Send.”
3. Confirmation:
After you’ve entered the required information, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the data has been successfully shared with the specified recipient.
