Knowing your Glo number is essential for managing your account, topping up, and accessing various Glo services. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to check your Glo number, regardless of whether you're using a smartphone or a feature phone. This guide will walk you through each method, ensuring you never have to worry about forgetting your number again.
Methods to Check Your Glo Number
Here are the most reliable methods to quickly and easily find your Glo number:
1. Using the USSD Code:
This is the quickest and most convenient method. Simply dial *123# and press the call button. Your Glo number will be displayed on your screen almost instantly. This works on both smartphones and feature phones. No data is required for this method.
2. Checking Your Glo SIM Pack:
If you still have the original packaging your Glo SIM card came in, your phone number will be printed clearly on the packaging. This is a simple, albeit less readily available option if you've had your SIM for a while.
3. Calling Another Number:
Ask a friend or family member to call you. When they call, your number will be displayed on their phone screen. This requires having someone else available to assist you.
4. Checking Your Glo Account via the MyGlo App:
The official MyGlo app provides a convenient way to manage your account and view your number. Download the MyGlo app from your app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store), register, and log in. Your Glo number will be prominently displayed on your profile page. This requires having a smartphone with data access.
5. Checking Your Phone's Recent Calls Log:
If you've recently called another number, your Glo number should appear in the "Recent Calls" list on your phone. However, this only works if you've made or received calls recently and requires you to locate your phone's call logs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some common questions people have about checking their Glo number:
What if I can't remember my Glo PIN or Password?
If you've forgotten your PIN or password for the MyGlo app or other Glo services, you'll need to follow the password recovery procedures outlined on the Glo website or within the app. This often involves answering security questions or receiving a password reset code via SMS.
Why is my USSD code not working?
There are several reasons why the *123# USSD code might not work:
- Insufficient Credit: Although unlikely, ensure you have enough airtime for the USSD request to process.
- Network Issues: Check your network connection. A weak signal might prevent the request from going through.
- SIM Card Issues: Ensure your Glo SIM card is properly inserted and functioning correctly.
If the problem persists, contact Glo customer care for assistance.
What if I don't have access to a smartphone?
If you only have a feature phone, the USSD code (*123#) and the SIM pack are your best options. Remember that using a feature phone will restrict access to the MyGlo app.
Is there a charge for checking my Glo number using USSD?
Checking your Glo number using the *123# USSD code typically does not incur any charges. However, it's always a good idea to check your current tariff plan to be sure.
How do I change my Glo number?
You cannot change your Glo number yourself. If you wish to change your number you will need to contact Glo customer service directly.
By following these methods, you can easily check your Glo number whenever you need to. Remember, the USSD code is the fastest and most reliable option. If you encounter any difficulties, reaching out to Glo customer support is always an excellent option.
