Sharing data with friends and family is a great way to help them stay connected. Globacom makes this simple with its easy-to-use data-sharing feature. If you want to learn how to share data on Glo, you are in the right place. This guide will explain the steps clearly so you can get started right away.
Why Data Sharing Matters
In today’s world, having internet access is important. Many things depend on it, from chatting with loved ones to working online. Without data, it can feel like you’re cut off from the rest of the world. That is why Glo offers data-sharing services. It allows you to share your data balance with others, making it easy to stay connected.
What is Glo Data Sharing?
Glo data sharing means allowing someone else to use your existing data balance. This is different from transferring a specific amount of data. With Glo, you add the person’s number to your data plan. They can then use your data balance whenever they need it. Let’s look at how to do this step by step.
How to Share Data on Glo
Sharing data on Glo is easy. All you need is your Glo line and a few minutes to complete the process. Follow the steps below to share your data using USSD codes.
Using *321#
- Dial *321# on your Glo line.
- Choose Option 1 for “Share Data.”
- Enter the Glo number of the person you want to share data with.
- Confirm the process.
You will receive a message saying the data sharing is successful. The person you shared with can now use your data balance.
Using *312#
- Dial *312# on your Glo line.
- Select Option 3 for “Share Data.”
- Choose Option 1 to confirm data sharing.
- Enter the recipient’s Glo number.
Once you complete these steps, a notification will confirm the sharing. The person can start using your data balance immediately.
How to Gift Data on Glo
Data gifting is different from sharing. When you gift data, you are buying a data plan for someone else using your airtime. The recipient gets their own data bundle. Here’s how to gift data on Glo:
- Dial *312# on your Glo line.
- Select Option 2 for “Gift Data.”
- Choose the data plan you want to gift.
- Enter the recipient’s Glo number.
- Confirm your selection by replying with 0.
The cost of the data plan will be deducted from your airtime. The recipient will get a message confirming they have received the data.
Differences Between Data Sharing and Data Gifting
- Data Sharing: You add someone to your data plan. They use your existing data balance.
- Data Gifting: You buy a data bundle for someone using your airtime. They get their own data balance.
Both options are useful, depending on your needs. Sharing works best if you already have enough data, while gifting is ideal if you want to give someone their own plan.
