Sharing Data Across Your Family
- Primary SIM: Purchase any Glo bundle on one SIM.
- Add Recipients: Dial
*127*01*<RecipientNumber>#or use the Glo Café App to include up to several lines. - Shared Pool: All added lines draw from the same data balance—simplifying management and budgeting.
- Remove Lines: Dial
*127*02*<RecipientNumber>#to revoke access when needed.
Tip: Label each recipient in the app so you can monitor per line usage and troubleshoot overconsumption.
Managing Usage & Saving Costs
- Nightly Updates: Schedule system and app updates between 12 AM–5 AM to use your night bonus.
- Router Setup: Use a 4G MiFi or LTE router centrally located; set QoS rules to prioritize work or e learning traffic.
- Parental Controls: Employ router or device level filters to restrict non educational streaming during school hours.
- Data Saver Modes: Enable compression in browsers (e.g., Opera Mini) and use Lite versions of apps (Facebook Lite).
- Rollover Renewal: Renew before expiry to carry unused MB over—critical during holiday lulls.

A 50 GB plan covers baseline needs with buffer; heavy months or simultaneous streams may push usage to ~80–100 GB, making 93 GB or 138 GB plans more comfortable.
Handling Overruns & Adjustments
- Top Up Burst: If you exceed mid month, buy a 2 GB for ₦500 or 7 GB for ₦1 500 short term plan to bridge the gap.
- Monitor Alerts: Glo notifies at 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, then 90 %—act quickly to avoid sudden cuts.
- Plan Reassessment: After two months, review usage trends; upgrade or downgrade accordingly.
- Holiday Season: During school breaks, usage may plummet—pause auto renew to preserve rollover MB.
FAQs for Families
Q1: Can each family member buy their own mini bundle?
A: Yes—but it’s more economical to share one large plan. Individual top ups can override or queue after the main bundle.
Q2: Does night bonus data roll over?
A: No; night only MB expire at term end. Schedule all off peak tasks before then.
Q3: How many lines can share one plan?
A: Officially, you can add multiple recipients; check with Glo if you need large numbers for extended family.
Q4: What if Glo coverage is weak at home?
A: Use an external high gain LTE antenna or position your router near windows; consider a fallback SIM from another network.
