Glo Data Plans in Nigeria 2026: Prices, Codes & Best Value Picks
To buy any Glo data plan in Nigeria, dial *312# on your Glo line, select “Buy Data,” and choose from the available categories. The code works for all plan types — daily, weekly, monthly, mega, night, social, YouTube, and campus booster. Prices in 2026 start from ₦50 for 45MB (1 day) and go all the way to ₦100,000 for 1TB (valid for up to a year).
The old *127# codes you may have seen on older articles? Those no longer work the same way. The NCC introduced unified USSD codes across all networks, and Glo now routes all data subscriptions through *312#. If you dial one of those old codes and get an error or wrong plan, that’s why.
Here is everything you need, fully updated for 2026.
Important: What Changed With Glo Data Plans
If you’ve been using Glo for a while, you may have noticed things changed in early 2025 and into 2026. A few things to know:
The old codes are retired. Codes like *127*51#, *127*53#, *127*55# and similar were part of the old Glo data system. Many older articles and WhatsApp forwards still circulate these codes, but Glo now directs all subscribers to use *312# for data subscriptions.
Data volumes were revised. Starting March 2025, Glo updated its data bundles. Some plans got bigger, some got restructured. If you’re going off memory from what a plan used to give you, double-check it — you may now be getting more (or different) data than before.
Night bonus data is now a feature of many monthly plans. Rather than a separate “night plan,” many standard monthly plans now include a bonus night allocation usable between 12am and 5am. The daytime portion and night portion are separate — more on this below.
How to Subscribe to a Glo Data Plan
There are three ways to buy Glo data:
Method 1: USSD Code (Fastest) Dial *312# → Select 1 (Buy Data) → Choose your plan category → Select your plan → Choose auto-renewal or one-off.
One thing I’d strongly recommend: always choose one-off on your first subscription with any new plan. Auto-renewal will deduct airtime the moment your plan expires, which can catch you off guard if you recharge for calls and forget a data renewal is pending.
Method 2: Glo Café App Download the Glo Café App from Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Log in with your Glo number and tap Data to browse and buy any plan. The app also lets you manage auto-renewal, gift data to others, and check your balance.
Method 3: Glo Website Visit hsi.glo.com to browse and purchase data plans through your browser. Useful when USSD keeps timing out on your phone.
How to Check Your Glo Data Balance
Dial *323# — you’ll instantly get a pop-up showing your current plan, remaining data, and expiry date.
You can also send STATUS to 312 via SMS, or check through the Glo Café App.
One thing many users miss: if you have both a main data allocation and a night bonus, the balance message will usually show them separately. Make sure you’re reading both figures, not just the first one.
Glo Daily Data Plans 2026
These are best for emergencies, quick tasks, or when you just need data for a day or two without committing to a longer plan.
| Price | Data | Validity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₦50 | 45MB | 1 day | Quick email, WhatsApp check |
| ₦100 | 245MB (240MB + 5MB night) | 1 day | Light browsing, social media |
| ₦200 | 525MB (500MB + 25MB night) | 2 days | Moderate browsing |
| ₦300 | 1.35GB | 2 days | Short-term heavier use |
| ₦500 | 2GB | 2 days | Video calls, short streaming |
To subscribe to any of these, dial *312# and navigate to Daily Plans.
The ₦50 for 45MB is genuinely bare minimum — you’ll use it just checking notifications and sending a few messages. The ₦200 for 525MB over 2 days is better value for a light internet day. If you need to work through a task in 48 hours, the ₦500 for 2GB handles it comfortably.
Glo Weekly Data Plans 2026
Weekly plans are ideal for users who don’t want to commit to 30 days but need more than a day or two. They also suit anyone who primarily uses the internet on weekdays.
| Price | Data | Validity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₦500 | 1.55GB | 7 days | Casual weekly browsing |
| ₦1,500 | 5.9GB – 6GB | 7 days | Active social media, streaming |
To subscribe, dial *312# and navigate to Weekly Plans.
Most weekly plans include a night bonus allocation. That means part of the total data shown is only usable between 12am and 5am. Always check the breakdown so you’re not confused when your “6GB” plan seems to drain faster than expected during the day.
Glo Monthly Data Plans 2026
Monthly plans are where Glo consistently beats the competition in Nigeria. The value per gigabyte is genuinely strong, especially from the ₦3,000 tier upward.
| Price | Total Data | Data Split | Validity | ₦ per GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₦1,000 | 2.6GB | Anytime data | 30 days | ~₦385 |
| ₦1,500 | 5.2GB | 3.2GB anytime + 2GB night | 30 days | ~₦288 |
| ₦2,000 | 6.25GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦320 |
| ₦2,500 | 7.2GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦347 |
| ₦3,000 | 10.5GB | 8.5GB anytime + 2GB night | 30 days | ~₦286 |
| ₦4,000 | 12.5GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦320 |
| ₦5,000 | 16.5GB – 32GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦156–303 |
| ₦8,000 | 25GB | Anytime data | 30 days | ~₦320 |
| ₦10,000 | 42GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦238 |
| ₦15,000 | 64GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦234 |
| ₦18,000 | 62.5GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦288 |
| ₦20,000 | 107GB | Anytime + night bonus | 30 days | ~₦187 |
To subscribe to any monthly plan, dial *312# → select Buy Data → select Monthly Plans → choose your plan.
Note on data splits: Several of these plans include a night bonus — data you can only use between 12am and 5am. The “total data” figure includes both your anytime and night allocations. Your effective daytime data may be less than the headline number. Always check the split before subscribing, especially if you mainly browse during the day.
Best value pick: The ₦3,000 plan at 10.5GB is a strong sweet spot for most regular users. You get 8.5GB of anytime data plus a 2GB night bonus, which covers a full month of normal browsing, WhatsApp, and occasional streaming. If you’re a heavier user — remote work, video calls, lots of downloads — the ₦5,000 plan is where the real savings kick in at under ₦160 per GB.
Glo Night Data Plans 2026
Night plans give you data that works exclusively between 12am and 5am. They’re priced far cheaper than standard plans because of the time restriction, which makes them genuinely useful for downloading large files, software updates, videos, or backing up your phone overnight.
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₦25 | 250MB | 1 night (12am–5am) |
| ₦50 | 500MB | 1 night (12am–5am) |
| ₦100 | 1GB | 5 nights (12am–5am) |
| ₦200 | 1GB | 1 night (12am–5am) |
To subscribe, dial *312# and navigate to Night Plans, or use *777# which still routes to night and special plan options.
You can stack night plans. Many users buy the ₦100 for 1GB (5 nights) for regular overnight downloads alongside their standard monthly plan. If you browse after midnight often, combining a monthly plan with the ₦100 night plan is one of the smartest data moves you can make on Glo.
If you browse at 11:59pm and your clock crosses to midnight, the system automatically switches to your night plan. At 5:01am, it switches back to your regular balance. Be mindful of timing.
Glo Weekend Data Plans 2026
Weekend plans are active on Fridays through Sundays and offer solid data volumes for leisure browsing, streaming, or catching up on content during your days off.
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₦500 | 3GB | Weekends (Fri–Sun) |
To subscribe, dial *312# and navigate to Weekend Plans.
The ₦200 Sunday-only plan for 1.25GB is also available as a special data offer — but only on Sundays. Dial *312#, select Special Data Offer, and check whether the Sunday plan appears for your line.
Glo Always-On Data Plans 2026
Always-On plans are unique because they don’t expire in the traditional sense. Even after you exhaust your main data, you stay connected at a reduced speed. These are ideal for people who need a constant baseline connection without the anxiety of running out completely.
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₦2,000 | 6GB | 30 days (always-on) |
| ₦3,500 | 15GB | 30 days (always-on) |
Quick codes: Dial *312*183# for the ₦2,000 option or *312*184# for the ₦3,500 option. You can also access these through the standard *312# menu.
Glo YouTube Data Plans 2026
These plans are dedicated YouTube bundles — they count data only when you’re streaming on YouTube, leaving your regular data balance untouched. Confirmed on the official Glo website.
| Price | Data | Hours of YouTube | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₦250 | 1GB | ~5 hours | 1 day |
| ₦600 | 3GB | ~14 hours | 2 days |
To subscribe, dial *312# and navigate to YouTube Bundles or Social Bundles.
One thing worth noting: these bundles work only on the YouTube app. If you access YouTube via a browser, it may draw from your regular data balance instead. Stick to the app for these to work as intended.
Glo Social Media Data Plans 2026 (My-G & WTF Bundles)
Glo offers social-specific bundles for platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Snapchat, and more through two packages: the My-G bundle and the WTF (WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook) bundle.
These plans restrict usage to specific social platforms — they don’t work for regular browsing, streaming videos outside those apps, or downloading files. Think of them as a supplement to a regular data plan, not a replacement.
Access them by dialling *312# → Buy Data → Social Bundles.
Glo Campus Booster Plans 2026
Campus Booster is a special plan category that gives students and anyone near a Glo 4G campus zone significantly more data than standard plans. On campus, you access double the data you bought. Off campus, you still use the standard volume.
| Price | Standard Data | Campus Bonus | Extra Shareable Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₦100 | 100MB | 225MB (on campus) | 25MB | 2 days |
| ₦200 | 200MB | 450MB (on campus) | 50MB | 4 days |
| ₦500 | 500MB | 1.12GB (on campus) | 125MB | 7 days |
| ₦1,000 | 1GB | 2.25GB (on campus) | 250MB | 15 days |
| ₦2,000 | 2GB | 4.5GB (on campus) | 500MB | 30 days |
| ₦5,000 | 5GB | 11.2GB (on campus) | 1.25GB | 30 days |
To subscribe, dial *312# → Special Data Offer → Campus Data Booster. You can also use *777# for campus booster access.
One thing competitors almost always miss mentioning: the shareable data included in Campus Booster plans. For example, the ₦2,000 plan includes 500MB that you can gift to other Glo numbers. If you’re sharing data with a friend or family member who’s also on Glo, these plans deliver more than what they appear to on the surface.
Glo Mega Data Plans 2026
Mega plans are for heavy internet users — households using Glo MiFi as their primary internet source, content creators, remote workers handling large files, or anyone downloading constantly.
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₦30,000 | 225GB | 30 days |
| ₦36,000 | 300GB | 30 days |
| ₦50,000 | 425GB | 30 days |
| ₦60,000 | 355GB | 90 days |
| ₦75,000 | 675GB | 120 days |
| ₦100,000 | 1TB | Up to 1 year |
To subscribe, dial *312# → Buy Data → Mega Data Plans.
The ₦60,000 for 355GB over 90 days works out to roughly ₦20,000 per month for consistent heavy internet, which competes favorably with home broadband options in Nigeria. The 1TB plan at ₦100,000 for a year is about ₦8,333/month — genuinely competitive if you have consistent Glo 4G coverage in your area.
If you’re using a Glo MiFi router, note that the device costs ₦12,000 and comes with 16GB of free data. For purchases of ₦5,000 and above, you also get a 5GB monthly bonus for the first 6 months.
Glo Café App-Only Deals (Worth Knowing About)
The Glo Café App offers exclusive bundles that aren’t accessible via USSD. These include:
- ₦200 → 750MB → 1 day
- ₦300 → 1.5GB → 1 day
Also, Tuesday Data Fiesta bundles are only available through the Glo Café App on Tuesdays:
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| ₦100 | 500MB | 1 day |
| ₦200 | 1GB | 1 day |
| ₦500 | 3GB | 1 day |
| ₦900 | 6GB | 1 day |
If you haven’t downloaded the app yet and you buy data regularly on Glo, Tuesday Data Fiesta alone makes it worth having. ₦200 for 1GB in a single day — when you normally pay ₦1,000 for 2.6GB over 30 days — is strong short-term value.
Does Glo Have a Truly Unlimited Data Plan?
No. Glo does not offer a genuinely unlimited data plan for regular mobile subscribers in Nigeria as of 2026. The mega plans go up to 1TB — which is enormous — but they’re not unlimited in the true sense. All plans have a defined data cap.
You may see the word “unlimited” used loosely in some promotional materials, but the official Glo plans all have specific data ceilings. After exhausting your plan, Glo either stops your data or (on Always-On plans) slows your speed significantly — around 512Kbps — until you top up.
Glo 200 for 1GB: Is It Still Available?
Not as a standard plan. This was a popular offer that Glo ran in the past, and many Nigerians still search for it. As of 2026, there is no permanent ₦200 for 1GB plan available under the standard data menu.
The closest options currently available are:
- ₦200 → 525MB (2-day daily plan)
- ₦200 → 1GB (Sunday special offer — Sundays only, via *312# special offers)
- ₦200 → 1GB (Tuesday Data Fiesta via Glo Café App — Tuesdays only)
- ₦200 → 1GB (Night plan — 12am to 5am only)
If you want 1GB for the cheapest possible price, the Sunday offer and Tuesday Data Fiesta are your best bet — but they’re time-restricted.
How to Stop Auto-Renewal on Your Glo Data Plan
One of the most common frustrations among Glo users is unexpected auto-renewal draining airtime. Here’s how to stop it:
Send STOP to 127 via SMS. This deactivates auto-renewal on your current data plan.
You can also disable it through the Glo Café App under your active plan settings.
If you selected one-off when subscribing, auto-renewal is already off. The issue only happens when you choose auto-renewal at the subscription step.
Which Glo Data Plan Is Best Value in 2026?
It depends on how and when you use the internet:
For light users (WhatsApp, occasional browsing): The ₦1,000 monthly plan at 2.6GB is the entry point. Combine it with a ₦100 night plan if you download files at night.
For average users (social media, YouTube, video calls): The ₦3,000 plan at 10.5GB (8.5GB anytime + 2GB night) hits the sweet spot. You get enough for a full active month without rationing.
For heavy users (remote work, large downloads, MiFi): The ₦5,000 plan at 16.5GB–32GB offers the lowest cost per gigabyte in the standard monthly range. If you need even more, the mega plans from ₦30,000 give extraordinary bulk value.
For students on campus: Campus Booster plans effectively double your data on campus. The ₦2,000 plan that gives you 2GB standard + 4.5GB on campus + 500MB shareable is hard to beat.
For night owls or heavy downloaders: Stack a monthly plan with the ₦100 for 1GB night plan (5 nights). You get full daytime access on your main plan and bulk overnight bandwidth for downloads.

The main Glo data subscription code is *312#. Dial it on your Glo line, select Buy Data, and choose your preferred plan. This single code gives access to all plan categories — daily, weekly, monthly, mega, night, weekend, social, YouTube, and campus booster.
What is the cheapest Glo data plan in Nigeria?
The cheapest Glo data plan is ₦50 for 45MB, valid for 1 day. The cheapest monthly plan is ₦1,000 for 2.6GB, valid for 30 days. For absolute best cost per gigabyte on a monthly plan, the ₦5,000 and ₦10,000 tiers deliver the strongest value.
How do I get 1GB for ₦200 on Glo?
The standard ₦200 for 1GB plan is not available permanently. However, you can get 1GB for ₦200 on Sundays via the Sunday special offer (dial *312# → Special Data Offer), or on Tuesdays via the Tuesday Data Fiesta on the Glo Café App. There’s also a ₦200 for 1GB night plan valid 12am–5am.
How do I get 4GB for ₦1,000 on Glo?
This was a promotional offer previously available to specific SIMs via the *777# menu. It is not a standard plan and is no longer consistently available to all subscribers. The current ₦1,000 standard plan gives 2.6GB for 30 days. Some users may receive personal awoof offers through the Glo Café App or SMS — check the app to see what offers are available on your specific line.
Does Glo have an unlimited data plan?
No. Glo does not offer a truly unlimited data plan. The largest available plan is 1TB for ₦100,000, valid for up to a year. Always-On plans keep you connected after exhausting your data but throttle speeds significantly rather than providing unlimited bandwidth.
What is Glo night data plan time?
Glo night plan data is usable strictly between 12am and 5am. Outside this window, the data is inaccessible and your regular daytime plan is used instead. If you’re still browsing at 5:01am, the system automatically switches to your regular balance.
How do I check my Glo data plan balance?
Dial *323# for an instant balance display showing remaining data and expiry date. You can also send STATUS to 312 via SMS or check through the Glo Café App.
How do I opt out of or cancel a Glo data plan?
To stop auto-renewal, send STOP to 127 via SMS. To cancel a specific plan, use the Glo Café App or call Glo customer care on 121.
What is the best Glo data plan for heavy internet use?
For heavy use, the ₦5,000 monthly plan (16.5GB–32GB) gives the best value in the standard range. For very heavy use — MiFi, home broadband replacement, large downloads — the Mega plans starting at ₦30,000 for 225GB offer dramatically lower cost per gigabyte.
Can I use Glo data on a MiFi router?
Yes. Glo data plans work on MiFi routers and all other data-enabled devices. A Glo MiFi router costs ₦12,000 and comes with 16GB of free data. For ₦5,000+ plan subscriptions, you also receive a 5GB monthly bonus for 6 months. The mega plans (₦30,000 and above) are the best fit for households using MiFi as their primary internet.
How do I share or gift data on Glo?
Dial *321# to share your existing data with another Glo number. To gift a fresh data plan to someone else, dial *312# and select Gift Data. You can add up to 5 Glo numbers to your sharing list. Some plans — especially Campus Booster plans — also include specific shareable data allocations built in.
Does Glo data roll over?
Yes, under certain conditions. If you renew your plan before it expires (or within the grace period of 1–7 days depending on the plan), unused data carries over. If the plan expires without renewal within the grace period, remaining data is lost.
What is the Glo data plan for ₦500?
In 2026, the ₦500 plan gives you either 2GB for 2 days (daily category) or 1.55GB for 7 days (weekly category), depending on which plan you select through *312#. There are multiple ₦500 options across categories. Choose carefully based on how long you need the data to last.
