The spread of the new Glo 4G LTE network has continued to gather
momentum with additional 20 locations, including Ikorodu in Lagos, Ota in Ogun
State and Zuba in Abuja going live on the network.
Globacom announced this in a press statement from its head office

N5000.
Customers wishing to join the network are advised to buy and
register a 4G LTE Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or swap their existing SIM
for a 4G SIM, get a 4G phone, if their current handset does not support the new
SIM, and dial *777# to buy a data plan.
“We want to assure our esteemed customers that we are working at a
frenetic pace to take our superior 4G LTE services to where they live and work.
If Glo 4G LTE is not near you yet, please, rest assured we will be there before
