Lagos, Nigeria – December 25, 2024 — Globacom, one of Nigeria’s leading telecommunications providers, has launched an enhanced offering of data roaming bundles, catering to subscribers traveling abroad. These flexible plans, now available in 40 countries across 46 networks, are aimed at keeping Glo’s mobile users connected while traveling for both business and leisure.
The new bundles cover popular travel destinations such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Italy, United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Brazil, India, and South Africa, among others. The service is designed to offer affordable, reliable data access, allowing users to stay connected to their work, monitor businesses, and share memories with friends and family through social media, all while abroad.
Data Roaming Options
Glo subscribers can now choose from a variety of data roaming packages that are tailored to different travel needs and budgets. The options are as follows:
- N2,500 for 50MB of data, valid for 3 days.
- N5,000 for 125MB of data, valid for 7 days.
- N10,000 for 1GB of data, valid for 10 days.
- N25,000 for 2.5GB of data, valid for 30 days.
- N50,000 for 6GB of data, valid for 60 days.
The flexibility of these plans ensures that subscribers can choose an appropriate data size depending on their requirements, whether for a short trip or an extended stay.
How to Activate the Service
Glo’s active prepaid customers can easily select and subscribe to the roaming data bundle by dialing *312# and selecting Option 5. The service is automatically activated for prepaid subscribers, who can also purchase bundles either before departure from Nigeria or once they arrive at their destination.
Postpaid users, on the other hand, will need to activate the roaming service before subscribing to their chosen data plan. It is important to note that the validity of the data bundles will only begin when the user arrives at the destination country and starts using the internet.
Important Considerations
Subscribers must connect to one of Globacom’s recommended partner networks for the data roaming packages to be valid. If a user connects to an unlisted network, the service will revert to Pay-As-You-Go rates, which are typically higher. Glo has advised customers to consult its website for a list of compatible networks in each country.
Additionally, to help users monitor their data consumption, Glo will send regular updates about their data usage, ensuring that customers are aware of their remaining data balance. This feature is intended to prevent unexpected data depletion, particularly when traveling internationally.
Conclusion
This expansion of Globacom’s data roaming options underscores the company’s commitment to offering seamless connectivity for its subscribers, even when they are thousands of miles away from home. With these new, flexible data plans, Glo users can stay connected, manage their data usage effectively, and avoid costly roaming charges during their international travels. Whether for business, leisure, or personal use, the enhanced data roaming service positions Glo as a reliable partner for the highly mobile Nigerian traveler.
