How to Transfer & Share Data from GLO to GLO Line With Code

How to transfer data (mb) from glo to glo

how to transfer mb from glo to glo

In my previous post, I talked about how to transfer mb (data) from mtn to mtn, but today we’re going to see how to transfer mb (data) from your glo line to another glo line, otherwise known as glo gift.

People are usually confused about these two phrases “To transfer mb (data) from glo to glo” and “To share mb (data) from glo to glo”. These two phrases are always confused to mean the same while some people don’t actually know their meaning and differences.

Well they are not the same, let me clarify you on that. ‘To transfer mb from glo to glo’ literally means to send some of your mb (megabyte) from your own glo line to another glo line.

Just like the ‘glo easyshare’ which allows you to transfer airtime from glo to glo. ‘glo gift’ however allows you to transfer or buy mb (data) from any of the data plan for another glo user. In this case your airtime is not sent, rather mb is the thing that is sent to the other user.

You’re just subscribing a data plan for your family and friends using your own glo line, they’ll receive the mb of the data plan and have access to the internet until they exhaust it or it expires. While ‘To share data from glo to glo’ means you’re granting your family and friends access to the internet using your own mb (data).

In this case you’re not sending or buying them mb, you’ll only add them to your glo share list thereby granting them access to the internet in their own devices until your data plan expires or you remove them willingly.

You can control and decide the amount of mb they’ll use by transferring mb to them, but you can’t control or decide the amount they’ll use if you share your mb with them.

They’ll always have access to the internet so far you have an active data plan with data in it no matter where they are, unless you unshare your mb with them by removing them from your share list.

So I hope you wouldn’t get confused whenever you see those phrases again? Ok having known that let’s see how you can actually transfer mb from your glo line to another glo line and how you can also share mb on glo.
