Globacom is one of the fastest-growing mobile and internet service providers in Africa.

The Glo Ghana company has done well in positioning itself as the people’s preferred network provider.

How To Get A Glo Ghana Sim

Gone are the days when one can easily buy a Glo sim (or any other network’s sim) on the road and commence using it immediately. Nowadays, there’s a statutory demand to register a sim before you start to use it.

In Ghana, all mobile operating companies are directed by the National Communication Authority (NCA) to ensure that their subscribers dully register their sims and the reason for this is for easy identification of persons. Glo Ghana is not excluded in the mandate.

However, if perchance you begin to use your Glo Ghana sim without proper registration, you will receive a call and SMS from the network to do the needful.

Steps To Follow:

  • After you have purchased a Glo Ghana sim, visit any Gloworld outlet or authorized vendor for proper registration.
  • Give them a valid ID card that contains details like your name, date of birth, as well as your picture.
  • Answer some personal questions and within a few minutes, your sim will be registered.

Online Registration

Registering your Glo sim online also comes with the added advantage of free delivery. To enjoy this service, simply visit.

However, irrespective of the method you choose to purchase your Glo sim, all subscribers are given free 200 MB data after registering successfully. This data’s duration is 3 days after which it expires and unused data cannot be rolled over or shared with other Glo Ghana users.

Various Ways To Check Your Glo Ghana Number

If you are a new subscriber on the Glo Ghana network, and you are having difficulty recalling your phone number, there is no need to panic. There are several ways you can achieve this from the comfort of your home. Here are a few ways the network helps you to retrieve your phone number:
