GLOBACOM said over the weekend that the new Glo Bolt Internet modem has been loaded with spectacular free benefits including a free Glo SIM card; 500 MB of data once the SIM is registered and activated. The package will also have free monthly data for six months for new and existing data subscribers on the Glo network.

According to Glo, new and existing subscribers who subscribed to any of the pocket friendly plans such as Always Macro, Always Min, Always Max, the Silver, Gold or Platinum plans will get a 30 per cent instant bonus and 200 MB free data every month for six months. The free data will be automatically given to the subscriber as soon as he/she activates a plan of N1, 000 and above each month.

Globacom’s GM, Marketing, Ashutosh Tiwary, said that Glo Bolt thrives on “speed and performance and, with the service, the subscriber is always a winner because we recognise that speed is a driver of value”.

Tiwary said that Glo Bolt offers unparalleled value since the cost of the modem has been significantly reduced and bundled with a free SIM and 500 MB free data on activation. “Our innovative plan sharing and plan gifting capability will also make Glo Bolt the Internet service of choice in the market”, Tiwary added.

On the gifting feature, Tiwary said a Glo customer can now buy an Internet subscription and send it to friends, family members and loved ones as ‘gifts’. This feature is especially useful when the person buying the gift does not want to share his subscription with the intended recipient. The gift recipient will be notified of the gift via customized SMS from the sender. The sharing feature allows up to five Glo customers to share one data plan.

Also speaking on the subscription plans, Tiwary explained that the sharing feature offers the subscriber convenience and affordability by enabling him to share his internet subscription with his friends, family and loved ones instead of buying multiple subscriptions for each and every one of them.

“For instance, a customer with a wife and two kids can buy only one subscription plan and share with his three loved ones instead of buying four subscription plans. The beneficiaries will receive an SMS notifying them of the shared plan and how they can share the plan. The customer just needs to visit http://hsi.glo.com from his Glo line to access the new world-class self-care portal through which the customers can use all the new functionalities. Only Glo offers a Self Care Portal for its Data & BlackBerry customers,” he explained.

semid4lyfe: Where is Glo's Resident Nairaland Agent, lulosas? I'm surprised someone beat him to this thread

Meanwhile, I suspect the modem is a 3.6mbps modem and that's why it's as cheap as N3,999.

Hell, it's the same one as their Huawei 3.6mbps modem (the one with front loading) that was sold just before they started selling that Huawei 7.2bmps GloNetrpo branded modem. . .

So instead of moving forward and upgrading, they're actually going backwards. . .NO BE ME AND THEM

Shey I wan dey use 3.6mbps modem for 2012 when some etisalat subscribers dey use 21.6mbps modems and all the other GSM telcos are offering 7.2mbps modems?

Where is lulosas to shed light on this?

e tire me o

Intrepid!:
Jokers just developed a fancy new modem and packaged some new 'freebies' to maga people into buying. The speed will be no different from the present modems.

Naija nd promos very soon yam sellers go start their own 'buy 2 tubers nd get one free' may God deliver naija

Glo has been, always is, and has proven over and over again to be a useless network as far as browsing is concerned.
I await real life user testimonies of this their 'Usain Bolt' internet before I entertain the slightest thoughts of considering them.

Ok na....

Mara mara n'ihu, gwompete n'azu!


Hu dey dciv hu?

This thread came @ the right time
Are this plans only for modems?
I subscribed to the 200mb plan for my Galaxy I9003 phone but Glo finished my airtime credit instead of charging my data account
I checked my data balance and it reads 260mb
I remove &put the Glo SIM in a java phone and get a network error trying to browse
Are they any special settings to use this bundle on my phone?
Or do I have to call Mike Adenuga before I can use this data bundle on my phone(s)?
Someone please help
Thanks

@ochukoccna,Glo has two types of settings;glosecure and gloflat. Once U̶̲̥̅̊ subscribe 2 a plan U̶̲̥̅̊ will need a gloflat settings. If U̶̲̥̅̊ are using an android fone or any smartfone,go to ur phone settings and change glosecure to gloflat and anywhere U̶̲̥̅̊ see secure change it to flat. On ur java fone U̶̲̥̅̊ will need to request 4 gloflat settings by sending "flat" as a msg to 1234 or call 171 to request. The speed of d internet in 9ja depends on d strenght of ur service provider in ur location. Glo 3.5G is fast if U̶̲̥̅̊ ve it in ur area.
