How to Activate Glo Bounce Data (MB)

Glo bounce is one of the recent tariff plans introduced by Glo. The tariff plan gives lots of freebies like free Glo-to-Glo call credit bonuses, SMS bonuses, and free MB for browsing the internet.


However, to some Glo lines, browsing the internet free of charge using the Glo Bounce data bonus is not possible, you have to prepare the phone for it first and that's what we discuss here.

Why Glo Bounce MB May not Be Usable?


For some reasons, you may not be able to use the free MB you receive from Glo under the Glo bounce tariff plan. The possible reasons are;
1- Unsettled Subscriptions : if you have an active Glo subscription, Glo sets your account to auto-renew the subscription so that when your active subscription expires, it auto-renew itself.

2- Uncompleted Migration : if you have migrated from another Glo tariff plan that also gives free MB for browsing the internet, it may be difficult for you to browse using Glo bounce data (MB) bonus.

3- Active Subscription : finally, if you have an active subscription, you would not be able to browse the internet using your Glo Bounce MB bonus until you exhaust and cancel your active subscription.

How to Activate Glo Bounce MB Bonus


Some times ago, I had about 1GB on my Glo bounce MB bonus and could not use it. I wonder what could be the reason because I had no active subscriptions as at then so, I was told to send "PAYU" in an SMS to 127 - still, no use. Although, that was part of it but not all.

To activate your Glo Bounce MB bonus
1- Send Cancel in an SMS to 127
2- Send PAYU in an SMS to 127

This is how it works; the number 1 step commands the Glo server to cancel all your pending data subscription with the network and the number 2 step directs the Glo sever to your Glo Bounce MB.
