Why GLO USSD Codes Are Still Relevant

Even in 2025, when mobile apps dominate, USSD remains GLO’s backbone for millions of Nigerians who prefer simplicity, no data usage, and offline access.

Whether you’re checking your airtime balance, borrowing credit, buying data, or stopping unwanted deductions — GLO’s USSD codes make life easier.

Here’s the most comprehensive 2025 guide to every working GLO short code — all verified and harmonized with NCC’s unified codes.

Understanding How GLO USSD Works

USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) allows your phone to talk directly to GLO’s servers through short dial codes like *310#.
No internet is needed — just a registered GLO SIM and active network signal.

USSD works on all phones — from button Nokias to Androids and iPhones.
It’s also more reliable in rural areas and low-signal locations where data networks may fail.

The NCC Harmonized USSD Codes for GLO

In 2023, the NCC standardized all telecom short codes across Nigeria to make them identical for all networks.
Below are the unified codes that apply to GLO and all other networks.

These codes replace the old *124# and *777# menus that GLO used before harmonization.
