Have you forgotten your Glo phone number or just purchased a new Glo SIM card? You can find your number using a USSD code, customer care, the Glo Café app, your SIM packaging, or another phone.
This guide explains five ways to check your Glo number in Nigeria.
Method 1: Dial the Glo Number-Checking Code
The first method to try is the USSD code.
-
Open the dialer on your phone.
-
Dial 777*# on your Glo line. Your Glo phone number will appear immediately in a pop-up on your screen.
If the code does not display your number, try one of the alternative methods below.
Method 2: Call Glo Customer Care
You can contact Glo Customer Care for assistance if you cannot retrieve your number using the USSD code.
-
Dial 300 from your Glo line.
-
Follow the voice prompts to reach the appropriate support option.
-
Explain that you want to retrieve your Glo phone number and follow the instructions provided.
Method 3: Use the Glo Café App
The Glo Café app allows customers to access account information and manage their Glo services.
To try this method:
-
Open the Glo Café app on your phone.
-
Sign in to your account.
-
Check your profile or account details for your phone number.
Note: You may need to sign in or verify your account first, so this option is most useful if you already have access to the app.
Method 4: Check Your SIM Card Packaging
If you still have the packaging that came with your Glo SIM card, check it for your phone number.
The number may be printed on the SIM pack or included in the documents provided when you purchased the SIM. However, not every SIM pack displays the number.
Method 5: Call or Send an SMS to Another Phone
If you have access to another phone, you can use it to identify your Glo number.
-
Insert your Glo SIM into your phone, if necessary.
-
Call another phone or send an SMS.
-
Check the receiving phone for your number.
This method may require sufficient airtime, and your number might not appear if caller ID is restricted.
