Best Glo Data Plans 2025 Prices & Subscription Codes

Why Choose Glo for Your Internet in 2025?

You might wonder — with all the complaints about network speed here and there — why even bother with Glo?

Honestly, it’s a fair question.
And maybe if you live in a spot where Glo coverage barely exists, it’s not going to be your top choice.
But if you’re in a good coverage area?
Glo is probably still the best deal for data.

Here’s why:

• Cheapest per MB, no contest:
  Most times, when you compare Glo’s data price to MTN, Airtel, or 9mobile… it’s not even close. Glo simply gives more data for less money.
  (Unless another promo is running elsewhere, but even then, Glo tends to match or beat it.)
• Bigger bonuses for new users and renewals:
  Glo often throws in extra data if you’re using a new SIM or if you renew a plan. It’s not always predictable, but it’s real.
  I once recharged N1000 and ended up with about 2.2GB instead of 1.6GB without doing anything special.
• Nationwide 4G expansion (kind of):
  Glo has expanded their 4G network over the past few years.
  That said, whether it feels like “real” 4G speed depends heavily on where you are. Some places are amazing; others, well… frustrating.
• Options for every type of user:
  Whether you need just a few MB for WhatsApp or heavy bundles for streaming Netflix all night, Glo has a plan.
  Maybe too many plans, honestly. (You’ll see what I mean once we start breaking them down.)

Is it perfect? No.
But is it affordable enough that people keep coming back, even if they sometimes threaten to port? Absolutely.

If price matters to you — and let’s be real, it matters to almost everyone right now — Glo deserves a serious look.

Complete List of Glo Data Plans for 2025

Before we dive into the plans, just a heads up:
Glo bundles change sometimes.
Not often, but enough that once in a while you might notice slight differences in bonus data or validity periods compared to what’s advertised.

Still, these are the official options as of 2025 — and for now, they offer some of the best data deals around.

Let’s start with the small daily and weekly bundles, because honestly, they’re lifesavers when you just need a quick recharge.

Glo Daily and Weekly Plans

These are perfect when you’re low on cash but still need to stay online for a bit.
Maybe check WhatsApp, send emails, or finish that last-minute school assignment.
(Not ideal for heavy streaming though, unless you enjoy buffering.)

  • Activation: Dial 12757# or text 57 to 127
  • Bonus: New SIMs or renewals get 1GB.
  • (MTN has a competing offer but only for 7 days. Glo definitely wins on time here.)

Glo Monthly Data Plans

Now, if you’re someone who hates recharging every few days — or you just want internet peace of mind for a full month — the monthly plans are what you should be looking at.

They offer more value per naira, especially if you catch those little bonus boosts Glo likes to throw in now and then.
(Although… whether the network behaves all month is another story. Let’s stay optimistic.)

Here’s what’s available:

• 1.6GB for ₦1,000
  • Validity: 30 Days
  • Activation: Dial 12753# or text 53 to 127
  • Bonus: Renewal or new SIMs usually upgrade you to 2GB.

• 12.5GB for ₦5,000

  • Validity: 30 Days
  • Activation: Dial 12733# or text 33 to 127
  • Bonus: Ends up around 78.75GB if bonus applies.

Honestly, at ₦1,000 for about 2GB (after bonus), Glo’s entry-level monthly plan is still one of the best you’ll find — if you have good signal.

If you’re a heavy user though — maybe remote working, gaming, or YouTubing day and night — the ₦10,000+ plans might make more sense long-term.
Even though, personally, paying ₦20,000 for mobile data still feels a bit painful no matter how much you get.

Glo Night and Weekend Plans

Sometimes you don’t really need full-time data.
Maybe you just want to download a few movies overnight or binge-watch YouTube on the weekend without draining your regular bundle.
That’s where Glo’s night and weekend plans come in handy.

Are they perfect?
Not exactly — the timing windows are strict — but if you plan it right, you can save a lot.

Let’s take a look.

Glo Night Plans

• 1GB for ₦200
  • Validity: One Night Only
  • Usage Time: 12:00 am – 5:00 am
  • Activation: Dial 12760# or text 60 to 127
  • Perfect if you’re a night owl or you don’t mind setting alarms to wake up and download things.
    (I’ve done that more times than I’d like to admit. Totally worth it sometimes.)

Glo Weekend/Evening Plans

• 3GB for ₦500 (TGIF Plan)
  • Validity: 7 Days
  • Usage Time:
    • Full access from midnight Saturday to 11:59 pm Sunday
    • Night access (12:00 am – 5:00 am) during weekdays (Monday–Friday)
  • Activation:
    • Dial 12761#
    • Or text 61 to 127
    • Or use 777117*2# if you like pressing a lot of buttons.

Basically, you can go crazy on weekends without worrying about your regular plan, and maybe sneak in some downloads during weekday early mornings too… if you’re awake.
(If you’re not? Well, it’s still a cheap weekend binge ticket.)

• One thing to note though:
• The night and weekend bundles only work during those specified hours.
• No rollovers.
• No refunds if you forget and try to browse during the day.
  (Been there, no fun.)

Special Glo Internet Bundles You Should Know

Aside from the regular daily, weekly, and monthly bundles, Glo has a few other plans floating around.
They don’t always get as much attention, maybe because they feel a bit more “niche,” but depending on your situation, they might actually fit better than the regular options.

Let’s walk through them quickly.

Glo Always-On Data Plan

• ₦500 for 14 Days Access
  • You get 60MB every day for 14 days.
  • Activation: Dial *777# and navigate to Always-On plans.

This one’s interesting because it’s more about consistency than bulk.
If you just need small data daily — like light browsing, emails, WhatsApp — it might work better than trying to stretch a regular plan painfully thin.
Although honestly, 60MB a day feels tiny if you open Instagram even once.

Glo Yakata Bonus Plan

• Available when you buy a new Glo SIM.
• You get free data and voice call bonuses every time you recharge.
• Bonus includes up to 6GB free data on first recharge and ongoing data bonuses for several months.

If you’re thinking about switching networks or grabbing a second SIM for backup internet, Yakata bonuses are hard to ignore.
(Although… after the promo period ends, things just go back to normal.)

Glo Campus Booster

• Specially designed for students or anyone who spends a lot of time on campus environments.
• Offers extra data when you are within designated campus areas.
• Activation:
  • Dial *777# > Campus Booster plans.
  • Or text “10” to 127 for more info.

It’s honestly a smart plan if you live or school around campuses — the bonus can be up to 10x more than usual when you browse in those areas.
Problem is, once you leave the campus zones, you’re back to regular Glo browsing rates.

These special bundles won’t fit everyone.
But if you’re someone who stays up late, lives near a university, or just wants a SIM for WhatsApp and calls, it’s worth considering one of them instead of a normal monthly bundle.

How to Check Glo Data Balance in 2025

Checking your Glo data balance isn’t complicated — at least most of the time.
Still, there are a few different ways to do it depending on what feels easier for you.

Here’s what you can try:

• USSD Code Method
  • Dial 1270# on your phone.
  • Or, you can also dial 777144#.
  • Wait a few seconds — your remaining data balance should pop up in a message.
• SMS Method
  • Text the word INFO to 127.
  • You’ll get a reply showing how much data you have left, along with the expiry date.
• Glo Café App
  • Download the Glo Café App from Google Play Store or App Store.
  • Log in with your Glo number.
  • You can view your active bundles, bonuses, expiry dates, and even buy new plans without memorizing codes.

Honestly, the app is probably the most stress-free option — if you don’t mind installing yet another app on your phone.
But if you’re old school like me sometimes, 1270# still works fine and fast.

One thing though:
If you recently renewed a plan or got a bonus bundle, Glo might split your balance into different categories (main data vs bonus data).
It can look confusing at first glance… but just know the bonus usually gets used up first before touching your main plan.

How to Cancel or Stop Auto-Renewal on Glo Data

Auto-renewal sounds helpful… in theory.
You buy a plan once, and every time it expires, it just renews automatically if you have enough airtime.
No need to remember. No need to rush and activate a new plan last minute.

Except — it’s not always that simple.

Sometimes you forget you activated auto-renewal.
Other times, you recharge airtime for calls, only for Glo to immediately renew your data plan without even asking.
(Yeah, happened to me once when I only wanted to buy call credit. Still stings.)

If you want to stop auto-renewal, here’s what you need to do:

• SMS Method
  • Send the word CANCEL to 127.
  • You’ll get a confirmation that your auto-renewal is off.
• USSD Method
  • Dial *777#.
  • Navigate to “Manage Data” → “Cancel Auto-Renewal” options.
• Glo Café App
  • Open the app.
  • Go to your active plan settings and switch off auto-renewal manually.

Important:
Even if you cancel, your current active data will still continue working until it expires.
You’re just telling Glo “Please don’t renew it after it finishes.”

Important Things to Know Before Subscribing

Before you rush to activate any of these plans, there are a few things you should probably keep in mind.
(Not trying to scare you — just saving you some of the little surprises I’ve run into myself.)

• Network Strength Matters a Lot
  Glo’s prices are amazing, no doubt.
  But if their coverage in your area is weak, no amount of cheap data will save you from frustration.
  Maybe test it with a small bundle first before committing to a big monthly plan.
  Trust me, ₦100 wasted on 80MB is better than ₦8,000 wasted on 20GB you can’t even use.

• Fair Usage Policies Exist
  Some plans — especially the big ones — come with quiet Fair Usage Policies (FUP).
  What that means is, after you use a large chunk of your data really fast (like heavy downloads), your speed might slow down a little.
  Glo doesn’t exactly announce this loudly, but it happens.
  It’s not always terrible, but you’ll notice it if you’re gaming or streaming HD videos.
• Bonuses Expire Faster
  Bonus data usually has a shorter expiry time than your main plan.
  Sometimes it’s a few days earlier.
  If you don’t use the bonus first, it can vanish while your main bundle is still running.
  Not a huge deal — but annoying if you don’t realize it’s happening.
• Auto-Renewal Can Sneak Up on You
  We already talked about canceling it earlier, but seriously — always double-check after activating a plan.
  Glo loves setting auto-renew by default.
  It’s easy to forget until you top up your airtime for something else… and poof, it’s gone.
• Prices and Bonuses Can Change
  Telecom providers update plans now and then without warning.
  What you see today might tweak slightly tomorrow.
  So if you find a good deal that works for you, maybe stick with it instead of hopping around too much.

Little things, sure.
But paying attention to them can save you airtime, stress, and one or two headaches you really don’t need.

 

Final Verdict

If you’re looking for the cheapest way to stay online in Nigeria in 2025, Glo is still hard to beat.
Even with all the little quirks — spotty network here and there, bonus data rules that feel a bit sneaky sometimes — the value you get is honestly solid.

Especially if you’re someone who mainly browses, streams in low quality, downloads a few things overnight, and doesn’t absolutely need lightning-fast speeds 24/7.
Then Glo makes a lot of sense.

But if you’re in an area where Glo’s network struggles badly… well, no amount of cheap data is worth sitting there watching a YouTube video buffer every five seconds.
In that case, maybe it’s better to pay a little more elsewhere.

Still, if Glo’s service is decent where you live (or work, or school), their data bundles can really stretch your budget.
You just have to pick the right plan for your needs and stay a little alert about bonuses and renewals.

That’s it.
I hope this guide helps you find the bundle that actually matches your internet life — not just the cheapest one at first glance.
