Recall, last month, Glo announced August 11,
2017 a free data day, whereby every eligible
customer will enjoy data of up to 200MB on
that said date.
But due to NCC commands, they asked Glo to
stop the offer, which they obediently did (just
to avoid NCC's fines lol). Anyway, Glo is back
again with the same free data day offer.
According to Glo;
All Glo customers can now enjoy a whole
day of free data when they meet set of
voice and/or data usage threshold within
7 days to the free data day.
Our telcos doesn't give anything for free, there
must be either terms & conditions or whatever
policy they feel like adding to the offer.
Glo has officially announced September 28,
2017 as free data day. It doesn't require much
stress. There's no subscription or whatever plan
to opt in for. To be eligible for Glo free data
day, you need to meet some certain
