The standard mobile internet configuration for GloMobile subscribers on a data plan is named GloFlat and has the following parametres:

• APN (access point name): gloflat
• Username: flat
• Password: flat

Once you exhaust your bundle plan though, you will find that you are unable to browse on a pay-as-you-go basis with the above configuration. To be able to do that (and have your browsing session billed from your airtime at 5k per second), you require the GloDirect configuration settings, as follows:

• APN (access point name): glosecure
• Username: gprs
• Password: gprs

You can have both settings saved on your device if you think you will be needing both at one point or the other. Then you can switch as required.

Don’t forget, data bundles use GloFlat. Pay-as-you-browse uses GloDirect.

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.
