Have a Globacom SIM but not
seeing the G (GPRS) sign on your
phone and wondering why? Well,
it is simply because your SIM card
has not been provisioned for
mobile internet browsing. Unlike
other networks,as at the time of
publishing this, Globacom SIM
cards are not pre-provisioned for
internet browsing. You must
subscribe to at least one of the
Globacom Internet Plans before
your Glo SIM can start displaying
the G sign on your phone.
So, How Do I activate my Glo
SIM?
You can activate it with the N100
bundle which gives you 10MB
with which you can connect to
the internet for 24 hours (1 day).
You can load N150 to your
phone, then text " 51" to 127.
N100 will be removed from your
balance and you will receive a
text message confirming this.
Your N50 balance will be on your
phone.
Then, you will have to switch off
your phone, remove your battery,
re-insert it and switch on your
phone. You will then have to
wait for the G sign to appear on
your phone . This might take up
to 24 hours atimes but you do
not have to worry because your
subscription will not start
reading untill you connect to the
internet.
I don't really know why its is like
this but might be for security
reasons. You just have to be so
patient for this one time.
Thereafter, you will always see
the G sign on your phone.
Once the G sign comes up, you
can connect to the internet and
start surfing. Depending on your
type of phone, Globacom
configuration settings might be
automatically pushed to your
phone. If not, you can also
request for it.

ALERT: Very Important
If you connect to the internet via
Globacom gprs settings or wap
settings, you will be charged 5k
per kilobyte but if you connect
using the gloflat settings and
have an active bundle
subscription on your phone, you
will only be charged from your
bundle and your credit will not
be touched..
So, what is the gloflat settings?
If you can create a configuration
profile on your phone with the 3
important parameters below, you
can then start enjoying the

Make sure you make the
settings the default in all
applications.
