I advice glo to go back to infineto, even it is 18 naira per minute to every network we wouldn’t mind. I was attracted to infineto but now, without infineto, i am running away from glo.
Glo ntwork is fine but since they want to use customer loyalty to exploit, i simply stop recharging on Glo. Etisalat will soon replace them. Glo have a rethink, we like glo.
With airtel 2good clasic, all calls is being charge 18kb per sec. Pls glo customers kindly dump your glo line for aitel because is 2 cheap
We all curse Mtn bt so far there are d cheapest,I have 2 mtn sims.d first is zone wehere I call for as low as 4k/sec.and d other is my f n f where I call for 10k/sec.MTN now gives free 5MB wen u recharge 100buks.Glo does notin other than Pay Nollywood actors n actresses millions of naira to show their dirty teeths on billboards.Glo BYE BYE…..ur call rates shud only be used by our Abuja politicians
D worst olan so far
am confused all glo packages are exorbitant. I dont know what 2 do? A go troway my glo sim.
Glo why are u doing this 2 ur custormers, i beg this tarif was nt gud oooooo
I use to recomend glo network to other people before but now I’ve dislike dem because they are not faithful to their customers interm of promo, high tariff, MB for internet browsing n they av bad network n also poor customer care. I av called customer care several time all they av to say is NCC av suspended all promo but other network are still giving free MB n airtime when u recharge wit certain amount. I do imagine if gloacom make research as MTN do. Instead of waste money on unprofitable things while not spend such money on reseach in order to know your SWOT analysis, inshort am disappointed in using GLO network
D network is bad dis days. We find it dificult to recharge and dis is at a lost to we dat sell card
I wish 2 tanks my glo network team 4 their good coverage of their network.
But i also blame them 4 failing their customers,i have been using glonetwork 4 long time now since 2003 and up till date i never benefit any thing from them,when i hard that they re doing promo i was happy nd i say let me try my luck and 4 God seck as it is their first time they fall my hand by saying NCC stop all the promo.If i may ask why they do not contact ncc b4 going ahead with the promo and is it that MTN are not working with NCC direct or how?, they gave up their promo 2 its customers.For we that invested much in the text and win promo what re they going to do?.I west all my time and money cracking my brain 4 the promo at last noting tangible comes from it.Am pls pleading to my good glo team to pls do something on it so that i wil not regret of using their network
