I stumble into this site while looking for glo 3g data tariff; fortunately for me
,after reading all the unpleasant experiences fellow Nigerians had with glo, i can now put my money in MTN. Hope glo will change and rule their world else we rule them out of our world.

Uche,

It seems I missed something in one of your comments earlier.

You mentioned that there’s a new access point created specifically for the prepaid data plan. This may be key to the billing problems those who activated a package have faced.

Can you please post that access point for everyone to try out?

My theory is that people were billed from their reqular airtime because they were using the regular APN.

Glo stole my #500 and didnt allow me to open a page without deducting extra money. i tried 3g,glogwap,glomms and glosecure access points.Glo server was accurate to deliver text after 24hrs that the service had expired.

@ Yomi.
The three hour activation looks like its gonna happen always. why? cos its there in the modem brochure. it doesn’t say its one off.

I will try out using may phone as a modem. I have been using it (phone) with MTN with no problems whatsoever (except its on GPRS where i reside). Since you say you got it working i will try it when i get the signals back.

Thanks for the support all of you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course you too Yomi!!!!!!!!!!!

Please can anyone show mr the new access point and settings for pre-paid. I used the Glo direct setting on my iPhone, but it continues to charge my credit 15k/kb even after I was notified of successful all-day subscription at N500 and cannot browse unless if credit is zero.

Archie,

3-hour activation? Is this 3-hour lag one-time or is applicable every time you renew subscription after the initial activation?

Also, the person who said you cannot use prepaid 3G with your phone as a modem was plainly lying to get you to buy the USB modem, or is absolutely ignorant.

I am using prepaid 3G on my phone and as a modem. Same Glodirect settings; no tweaks; just plug-and-play.

Try it out when service returns – put that SIM in your phone and hook up with your PC.

Cheers!

Hi guys, an update on my glo problem. Went to Abuja customer center, they told me I can’t use prepaid 3g on my phone ie use my phone as a modem. In short I shelled out 12k for the modem. I also found out that it takes 3 hours to get activated once you send the codes. So nothing like a quick email when you are away from home or office. Either you wait three hours, go home/office, or switch to other networks. The connection did come on after 3 hours. Got the confirmation text but glo never compensated for the 3 hours from the 24. To make matters worse 3g signals has disappeared from my area apparently due to a fiber cut barely 24 Hours after I got the modem. So my shiny new modem is laying there till God knows when. Phew! What a week!

Glo should GLO and rest as far as I am concerned, till today there’s no way to load any of the internet bundles! so whats the point?

as you said Yomi they can fumble and womble as much as they like I have definitely put their sim card aside and I can imagine there are many many more people who have done the same. pity!

errrr Glo the only way I’m ruling my world at the moment is via Etisalat! now there’s a company that’s TALKING!
