How to Share Data on Glo to Glo (3 Best ways)

Globacom, also known as Glo, is widely recognized for offering great deals on data plans at affordable prices. This article will guide you on how to share your Glo data with your loved ones.

What is data sharing on Glo?

In a nutshell, sharing data on Glo means adding Glo numbers to your data sharing list so that they can be browsing from your data balance. This is different from Glo data gifting service.

You might want to share your data not only with family and friends but also with other devices like smartphones, modems, or MiFi using one of your Glo lines. This means you don’t need separate subscriptions for each device. Glo Data sharing makes that possible.

For example, I prefer using a modem for my PC rather than my phone’s Wi-Fi. What I normally do is to add the Glo line that I use on my PC Modem to the sharing list of the Glo line on the phone. This helps me to browse directly with the modem on PC and not depend on my phone’s hotspot.
