How to Share and Unshare GLO Data
The option to share data on Glo has become very handy and at the same time very annoying to some people.
Many GLO subscribers do not know about this option and they’ve spent a lot of money buying data without the awareness that their GLO data subscription is being used by someone else.
Even without your consent, your friend or someone else who already knows about how to share and unshare GLO data, before you came across this post might have shared your data with themselves and they get to browse with your own data whenever you subscribe.
If you are a GLO subscriber and you notice that most times you subscribe, the data finishes in no time, you can check your data usage to see how much data you have used and you can also use a USSD code from GLO to check the person that is sharing your data with you and unshare your data subscription.

To see the list of people who are sharing your GLO data with you is very easy. All you have to do is follow the steps listed below;
