Glo data plans are by far the cheapest you can get in Nigeria, and that’s why the company prides itself as being “the Grandmasters of data”.
Whether you’re a heavy data user or a light user, you’ll find your perfect choice from Glo’s list of data bundles. And whether you use a PC modem, smartphone, or any other Internet-enabled device, Glo has the right plans for you.
Before you go ahead to choose a suitable Glo data plan for your Android phone or tablet, be sure to confirm that Glo Nigeria’s 3G signal is very strong in your area. If you’re in a location where Glo’s 3G connectivity is weak, I strongly recommend that you opt for data plans by MTN, Airtel, or 9mobile, instead.
