The service was designed to make it easier for users to share data and airtime and stay connected with loved ones. Users must have a Glo SIM card in order to use Glo Easyshare.
Remember that sharing is caring! But, before we get into the handy Credit-share practice of Glo Easyshare, let’s quickly get over some piece of advice that will guide us while sharing our airtime or Data with others using the Glo Easyshare.

How to Change Glo EasyShare default password for good!
The password “00000” has been assigned to all Glo users by default. Though you can continue to use the default password to complete your airtime/data sharing transactions, nonetheless, we recommend that you change it to be on the safe side.
To change your Glo EasyShare Password, dial *132*00000*new pin*repeat new pin#. E.g If you want to use 1122 as your pin/password, enter *132*00000*1122*1122#. Note, any four or five digit number may be used as Glo Easyshare transaction pin.
If you’ve set your unique pin for Glo EasyShare, but you’re not comfortable with the setup. You can request a change by dialing the code: *132*old pin*new pin*new pin#.
You will receive a message stating that the pin reset was successful upon request.
However, there are times that we forget our Glo EasyShare Password, and you are well aware that Glo EasyShare is inaccessible without your password. In this case, the only remaining option is to call Glo customer service at (300) and request a pin reset.
Glo Data share vs. Gifting
Just like MTN Share and Airtel Me2U, Glo offers users the ability to directly share and gift data bundles to their friends, family, and loved ones. Glo Easyshare discussed above primarily facilitates airtime gifts, whereas Data Gifting is specifically designed for data bundle gifting, and Glo Data sharing is tailored for data bundle pairing. Just as two Bluetooth devices can pair with each other, Glo allows data bundles to be paired as long as the paired number is GLO.
You can share data with your loved ones via the Glo cafe app, or the USSD CODE method. However, using the GLO Data Share USSD code, you can add, remove, and check the list of people who are currently sharing in your data subscription plan.
How to Share Data on GLO
- Dial *312#
- Go for 3 (Share data)
- Press 1 to share
- Enter recipient number. Note: It must be a Glo line
Your data sharing request will be sent, and the data pairing with the phone number will be activated within 24 hours! You can add up to 5 Glo users to share your data plan subscription, and they will receive the same immediate and fast data services as you do.
