Glo Internet Browsing Plan 260MB bundle Always Micro
| Tweet |
Glo Always Micro is a cheap internet bundle, from Glo Mobile. Glo Always Micro is now a 260MB 30-day internet browsing plan, which goes for N1,000 per month. Glo Always Micro formally had a download limit of 200MB, but Glo has increased it by 30%, consolidating Glo Always Micro's position as the best internet browsing bundle money can buy at N1,000 in Nigeria.
Glo also increased the data allowance of all its internet browsing plans by 30%.
Glo 260MB Internet Browsing bundle is our recommended browsing plan if your data usage is below 260MB in a month or you browse on your mobile phone. Glo Always Micro is a huge relief for most Glo subscribers, especially subscribers browsing directly on mobile phones and it is even sweeter with more data allowance. In this article we will provide an overview of the Glo 200MB Internet Browsing plan (Always Micro) and how to access it.
Getting Glo Always Micro Plan
The first thing to know about browsing on the Glo mobile network is that Glo has a secure internet network. Hence, you may not be able to access internet on the Glo network unless your SIM has been provisioned for internet browsing. If you are already browsing with your mobile phone on per kilobytes basis, then accessing Glo 260MB Internet Browsing plan is as simple as loading the internet setting for Glo prepaid internet browsing packages. If you already have a Glo USB internet modem, the internet setting is pre-loaded, so all you need to do is to send the required command via SMS.
To provision your Glo SIM for browsing take your internet enabled mobile phone to a Glo World shop. There, a Glo staff will provision it for internet browsing. Normally the settings that the staff will load to your SIM are for Glo WAP, which Glo internet browsing plans do not recognise. With Glo WAP settings you can only pay in kb, which with time will be very expensive. Ask the staff to load Glo Flat, which is the access point required for Glo Always Micro. Normally, the staff will tell you that bundled internet access is not available on mobile phones. Ignore that as we currently browse on Glo Always Micro on our mobile phones. Just follow steps below to setup Glo prepaid internet browsing bundles.
Here is how to set it up:
Manually load the following internet setting on your mobile phone:
Access Point Name (APN): gloflat
Username: flat
Password: flat.
This is all you need, no IP address, no port, etc. Just look for the appropriate place to enter the Glo Flat settings provided above in your mobile phone. Consult the manual of your mobile phone for details on manually loading internet settings on your mobile phone.
The next step is to activate the Glo Always Micro:
Load your phone with at least N1,000. Note that Glo 260MB Internet browsing plan requires that you have at least 1 kobo balance before you can browse the internet.
Send Activate to 127, this will display the code for all Glo prepaid internet bundles. You can ignore this step and go to the next.
Send 13 to 127, this is the actual command for requesting Glo 260MB Internet Browsing Bundle. Note that you will receive an SMS confirming the reception of your request and informing you that activation is pending. You will also receive an SMS when the internet package is activated. The confirmation SMS will contain the expiry date of the internet bundle. However, the expiry date is not sacrosanct. Once you use up the 260MB data limit, your internet access bundle will be deactivated whether or not the expiry date has been reached. Note that upload and download are counted in your data usage, so do not assume it is only for download. Text Info to 127 to check your remaining data balance.
Make sure you use your gloflat access point when browsing. If not you will still be billed on per kb basis even after activating the internet browsing bundle.
Who needs Glo Always Micro Plan
Glo 260MB internet browsing package is a great deal for browsing directly on your mobile phone. Glo Always Micro may also make sense if you browse on a computer. Glo 260MB internet browsing package is great for entry level users. It is definitely better than going to a cyber cafe.
Glo 260MB Internet Browsing plan is not for users who do lots of downloads and uploads. Remember that once you use up your 260MB internet access allocation, even if it is just 3 hours after you activated it, your internet access will be deactivated. So if your monthly data need is higher than 260MB, go for another internet bundle, like the Glo 1.5GB Internet browsing bundle priced at N3,000 or the Glo 4GB Internet browsing plan priced at N5,000.
Glo 260MB Internet Browsing plan is great for Glo subscribers who are currently browsing on per kb. If you are tired of being scared when browsing or checking your credit balance, each time you open a web page, then Glo Always Micro is for you. At least it will give you peace of mind. It will alert you when your data limit is about to be reached. It will also alert when it is about to expire. N1000 for 260MB data and a peace of mind, Glo Always Micro is surely worth it.

I have tried all that has been said here but Gloflat doesnt seem to connect only Glogwap connects despite the fact i have already subscribed for Always Micro. I have been adviced to send "activate" to 444 to activate the 3G but my text never goes. I'm confused. Is there any way out?
Enter the settings manually. It works. There is no mystery about it. It may take several hours or even days but it will eventually connect so keep trying. Glogwap is only for pay as you go, which is expensive.
I have tried it and its working well. only you forgot to tell us how to enquire the data balance. Thanks. Sani
@Sani, the correction has been taken, thanks.
How do I activate the data bundle
just enter the access point name, username, and password as provided in the post.
HOW Do we check the balance (remaining Megabytes)
Pls NTG, I have always had challenges with installing opera mini directly or using it to browse when it has been installed. I actually use MTN. I strongly believe that MTN blocks Opera Mini on their network as I'm not the only one affected. Pls join the call for MTN to explain to people why or whatever is happening.
2. I wonder why glo does not allow for mobile internet bundles, I think they lose a lot of revenue doing that.
You're doing a great job..Thumbs Up.
You can use Glo bundles on your mobile phone, but you will have to load the settings manually. Yes their customer care will tell you it is not possible, but I and possibly thousands of Nigerians browse on our phones with Glo Always Micro. We do not know why their customer care people have chosen to misinform Nigerians. You can also browse with Opera Mini on MTN. I have and a lot of people have too. Just make sure you have an original/pure distribution of Opera mini, not the free cheat distributions.
I once subscribed to glo 3G always macro with the aim of using my mobile phone as a modem but i was disappointed to discover that i could only browse on my phone. However, I could browse via pc on pay as you go.The glo setting on phone is gloflat,does it mean i can't connect to the internet vìa pc on either of the glo always micro or macro plan?
Adesegun, all u need to do is put the settings on ur PC too, depends on the phone and PC Suit or Desktop manager you're using, find the mobile internet settings and input "gloflat" as the access point. It should work
I've subscribed for monthly plan of packet data and enjoying it but How do i check the remaining MB so as to be prudent with its use over the month because i don't know the remaining now which a week to its expiration
Adedayo writing,
I have not subscribe to anything internet on Glo or any network in Nigeria but the information, comments and reviews I read was impressive and I cannot wait to experience it. Well done Glo nigeria
