If you have subscribed to the new Glo Pre-Paid 3G Bundle Packages but got billed per kb, here’s what the doctor ordered – the official configuration settings for the bundle plans.
I got these from a contact inside Glo:
APN: gloflat
Username: flat
Password: flat
These are all that you need. Configure your phones with these to use any of the packages on your phones.
Post any feedback in the comments section please. Personally, I’ll be trying these out first thing tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the confïguration settings, I know I could rely on mobilitynigeria. Glo really dissapointed the whole Nigeria,despite the over hyped glo1 cable and all the noise about tariff crash. They went ahead and launched a very expensive service.
Imagine charging N15,000 for a mere 3gb package and making it a must for their customers to buy the new modem of N12,500 making the modem they only introduced in June (just 4 months to the launch of this new data package) which they sold for N14,000 completely useless.
Such things only happen in Nigeria. They do not know that we use glo for the sake of patriotism and not for the wonderful service they think they offer. God will soon free us from these service providers,in Jesus Name. AMEN. I will try it out soonest.
Please I will very much appreciate it if someone give me the configuration settings for etisalat. I trully appreciate this site, one of the very few Nigeria forum where reasonable discussions takes place.

Raymond,
I doubt that Glo insists on subscribers purchasing the modem. All you have to do is insist that you already have a modem or that you will be using your phone.
Also, Glo-1 isn’t fully functional at the moment. Give them a few months to get it rolling. Not that its likely to make all the problems go away though. But we’ll see; won’t we?

given that glo have better 3g services and coverage,their mobile internet service will be much better(and with their much hyped glo 1 cable in the works,it will certainly improve)
i would like to know from anyone in the house if they have bundled moblie internet packages (like zain lite which gives you 100mbs for 30days) and the code for migrating for such package.

thanks yomi for the reply.i read in the link you provided that you presently use your phone as a modem to connect with pc.i have a 3g phone but dont have 3g coverage in my area with zain thats why i wanna switch to glo.
so all i need do is send the “activate” text to 127 and install the settings and choose my preferred plan?do i need to tweak any settings on the pc or phone to get the 3g access. and is there a special 3g sim card. your responce will be appreciated

Here’s a brief version of my trial of the above settings for the new bundle plans – I am currently browsing on my Nokia E90 communicator via the Always Day (50mb) plan. This is inspite of the claptrap that was repeated to me by Glo customer care reps that the service won’t work on phones. Bollocks.
I will be giving a detailed account of my trip to Glo Opebi today and the tasking encounter that it turned out to be.
But all you need is have your line provisioned for GPRS/3G, enter the above configuration settings, then send the required codes to activate a bundle plan. Nothing more – and you are good to go.

Shehu,
To use it as a modem with PC, simply enter the same Gloflat settings in your PC Suite. No tweaks. No special SIMs. If your line is already provisioned for internet access on the Glo network and you can browse on your phone, you are good togo.
If not already provisioned, you can call customer care or visit a Gloworld outlet for that.

See the instructions/steps outlined at Essential tips for using Glo prepaid internet bundle plans.
If you are still unable to browse after following those, you will need to dash down to the nearest Gloworld for help.

Hi Guys, I am using the glo modem but my vista machine comes with a message “connection terminated”. I have noticed other people with the same problem on the net and the glo staff could not resolve my issue.
I have decided to try this modem on my linux system. It connects there but does not browse because I need to manually input the dns server addresses which I do not have. Could someone check what the dns servers are when they are connected and please let me know.
thanks

Has anybody had issues with GLO when trying to use transfer files to their servers via FTP? I’ve been unable to upload files via FTP to my servers and on my blog, I can’t update plug-ins freely.
Surprisingly with MTN it works but it’s EXCRUCIATINGLY slow. I ‘m looking at getting ETISALAT’s 100mb plan to see if things are better and work.

sending INFO to 127, i tried ir but I did not get any result.
With all the hype starcomms users are giving us, I went to their office tday to get their evdo (izap) it is a ahare dissapointment, it cannot een play online video streaming. it is a pitty. it only gave a maximum of 351kbps, whereas glo gives me between 1200kbps to 2000kbps. I think this is what justifies the limit they give us on the data usage.
Starcomms uses scope to reduce the amountof things peple can do when using their network, but many unsuspecting users do not know this. too many restrictions. I think if you won’t been doing much video streaming you can go for stracomma. I will say my comments may still be premature, I will give them some time and observe it before giving my final verdict.
Anyone have comment about starcomms izap?

Send “Cancel” to 127 to cancel automatic renewal. After this month’s subscription ends, you will now be required to manually subscribe. Then you can pick another plan.

Choosing a plan depends on your unique needs. For example, how much data do use monthly?
All the plans run 24 hours. The rest is up to you.

@Samuel, when you unlock any Huawei Modem like the one you have, you cant use it with GLO. You’d have to reset the modem to factory setting. It was disabled by your network provider. There are certain commands that you can use to make that happen. They call it the ATEX command. What operating system are you using?
@J.0. You don’t neccessarily need a 3G sim. All new glo sims have that caoability. Get a 0807 or 0805 and text ACTIVATE to 127, after that subscribe to your desired bundle/plan, and voila! You’re good to go.
