Glo plan migration isn’t always free. Discover the exact 30‑day rule, when ₦100 applies, how bonus wallets vanish, and smart dual‑SIM tricks that let you test another plan without paying a Kobo—plus a 1–2 % airtime discount hack with SmartSMSSolutions.

Glo’s tariff buffet—Super Talk, Talk‑On, Berekete Smart, Yakata relics—makes switching tempting. But since March 2025, each unnecessary hop can drain ₦100 from your main balance and vaporise every unspent bonus. In a year of soaring costs, that’s real money.

This definitive guide covers:

1. The 30‑Day Rule—Glo’s calendar for free migrations.
2. What Actually Triggers the ₦100 fee (USSD, myGlo app, retailer requests).
3. Bonus & Bundle Forfeits—which benefits survive, which die instantly.
4. Strategic Switching—timelines to move from Berekete Smart to Super Talk, or Talk‑On to IDD bundles without losing a Kobo.
5. Dual‑SIM & Test‑Drive Hacks—explore new plans risk‑free.
6. SmartSMSSolutions (buy airtime)—fund every switch with a 1–2 % airtime discount that offsets potential fees.

Follow the roadmap and you’ll pivot tariffs only when the maths says “profit.”

The 30‑Day Free‑Migration Clock

Important nuances:

• Clock runs on calendar days (not 720 h).
• It starts the moment you receive the “Welcome to X plan” SMS.
• Auto‑migrations (e.g., Berekete Smart → Talk‑On Day 181) count as your free switch for that 30‑day window.

What Triggers The ₦100 Fee?

No grace period: even if you migrate and instantly realise a mistake, switching back costs ₦100.

Bonuses & Bundles—What Survives A Migration?

Moral: finish bonuses before migrating—especially crucial when leaving Berekete Smart.

Cost Simulations—Is The Switch Worth ₦100?

Example 1: Talk‑On → Super Talk

User: 240 min/month voice.
Talk‑On Cost: 240 min × ₦13.2 = ₦3 168
Super Talk Cost: 240 min × ₦9.30 + ₦15 × 22 fee days = ₦2 682
Saving: ₦486 first month.

Even after a ₦100 fee (if within 30 days), user still nets ₦386 saved—switch now.

Example 2: Super Talk → Try New Berekete Smart SIM

Second migration inside 30 days costs ₦100 and forfeits Super Talk’s first ₦15 access fee already paid. Better: slot a new SIM for Berekete; keep Super Talk untouched.

Strategic Migration Timelines

Dual‑SIM Test‑Drive Hack

1. Keep main SIM on stable plan (e.g., Super Talk).
2. Insert cheap new Glo SIM; it’s auto‑enrolled in Berekete Smart.
3. Test new plan for up to 30 days.
4. Decision: keep, discard or port number—no migration fees or bonus loss on main line.

SmartSMSSolutions—Offsetting The ₦100 Fee
