How to Share Glo Data in Nigeria (2026): USSD Code and Easy Steps

Glo lets you share your active data plan with other Glo lines, so you can help a friend or family member get online without buying a separate bundle for them.

You can manage Glo data sharing through USSD, the Glo Café app, or the Glo self-care website. Glo says you can add up to 5 Glo network users to your shared data plan.

Glo Data Sharing Code in Nigeria

The easiest options are:

• *301# — Glo’s dedicated menu for adding, removing and listing people sharing your subscription.
• *312# or *321# — Glo’s data menu can also be used to add a number for data sharing.

Glo’s current FAQ also says you can send share MSISDN by SMS to 312, replacing MSISDN with the Glo number you want to add.

How to Share Glo Data Using *301#

1. Dial *301# from your Glo line.
2. Follow the prompts for your data-sharing options.
3. Choose the option to add a person to your shared subscription.
4. Enter the Glo number you want to add.
5. Confirm the request when prompted.

Once the number is successfully added, the person can use the shared data benefit on their Glo line.

How to Share Glo Data Using *312# or *321#

1. Dial *312# or *321#.
2. Look for the option related to data sharing.
3. Enter the Glo number you want to add.
4. Follow the confirmation prompts.

Menu wording can change as Glo updates its USSD services, so follow the options displayed on your line rather than relying on an old menu screenshot.

How to Share Glo Data by SMS

Glo’s current data FAQ provides an SMS option. Type share, followed by a space and the Glo number you want to add, then send it to 312.

Example format: share 080XXXXXXXX

Use the actual Glo number you want to add instead of the example number above.

How to Share Glo Data With the Glo Café App

1. Open the Glo Café app.
2. Sign in with your Glo account.
3. Open the data-sharing or data-management section.
4. Add the Glo number you want to share your subscription with.
5. Confirm the request.

The app is useful if you prefer managing your Glo account without memorising USSD menus.

How Many People Can Share Your Glo Data?

Glo currently states that you can add up to 5 Glo network users to share your data subscription.

Glo Data Sharing vs Data Gifting

These two options are different. Data sharing lets approved Glo numbers use your existing shareable data subscription. Data gifting is used when you want to buy or send a data bundle to another person.

For example, if you regularly support members of your household with one data subscription, sharing may be more convenient. If you only want to buy a one-off bundle for somebody, gifting may make more sense.

Can All Glo Data Plans Be Shared?

Not every special or restricted bundle should be assumed to work exactly like a normal shareable plan. Glo’s current FAQ says its Mega Data bundles are shareable, while other special offers can have their own conditions.

Before relying on a particular promotional bundle for family sharing, check the terms shown when you subscribe.

What If Glo Data Sharing Is Not Working?

• Make sure the number you are adding is a Glo line.
• Check that your data bundle is active and eligible for sharing.
• Try the current *301# sharing menu.
• Check your account through the Glo Café app.
• If you used SMS, make sure the command and recipient number are entered correctly.

How to Remove Someone From Your Glo Shared Data

Dial *301# and follow the options for managing the people sharing your subscription. Glo’s dedicated sharing service supports adding, removing and listing shared-data users.

How to Check Your Glo Data Balance After Sharing

Dial *323# to check your Glo data balance. You can also use the Glo Café app or the Glo self-care website.
