Have you ever found that a Glo USSD code you once relied on suddenly no longer works? It’s not a glitch — Nigeria’s telecom sector is evolving, and so are the USSD codes. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has introduced a unified USSD framework for all mobile operators in the country. To keep you in the loop, we’ve put together a detailed guide on the new Glo USSD codes you need to know for your daily mobile transactions.
What’s Behind the Glo USSD Code Changes?
The changes in Glo’s USSD codes are part of a broader effort to standardize mobile services across Nigeria. With all telecom operators adopting new codes, this shift ensures consistency and simplicity for users. So, if you’ve recently had trouble recharging airtime or checking your balance using old codes, it’s time to update yourself on the new system.
Updated Glo USSD Codes You Need to Know
To keep your Glo services running smoothly, familiarize yourself with these newly updated USSD codes:
- Airtime Recharge: Dial *311*Voucher PIN# to top up your Glo line.
- Check Airtime Balance: Use *310# to see your remaining balance.
- Borrow Airtime: If you’re low on airtime, simply dial *303# to borrow credit.
