It is no longer news that Glo is the grandmaster of data and a lot of subscribers major complaint is there smartphone doesn’t support Glo 4G band frequency. But there is a goodness, Band 3 (1800) is now available on Glo network.
Earlier this year it was reported that the telecom company was working to extend its 4G LTE frequency to band 3; the same frequency band Airtel and 9mobile make use.
Glo NG is already rolling out Band 3 frequency and subscribers from different cities in Nigeria has confirmed that Glo 4G LTE is now available on Band 3(1800).
At the moment, you can access Glo 4G LTE on Band 3(1800MHz) and Band 28(700MHz).
If you’ve abandoned your sim chip because of the epileptic Glo 3G network, it’s time to dust it and access the new 4G LTE band on your smartphone.
The new Band 3 supports most smartphones except if you are not using a smartphone or a supported 4G device or an upgraded Glo 4G SIM.
Kindly let us know if your smartphone have detected the Band frequency and let us know your location.
It has been a while since Glo LTE band 3 surfaced for my end but still slow
How do we know what bands our phones use?
Noticed it last night at Gbagada axes. Thought it was a network glitch, till I saw this news. But can’t surf the internet with it. Everytime I connect it changes to H+
I’d given up on using glo 4G already. This is good.
Don’t give up, it is yet to stabilize in your location. It will stabilize
It’s a welcome development
Glo realized their mistake
This is good news indeed. I will check it my my side.
Not in my location ilupeju
Abeg Prof the H+ is far better than 4glte in my area
My phone supported even their old 4g band but mtn data promo is the Best.
Airtel has more 4G coverage than all this telecom companies.
How can we check the status from our phone
Prof do you mean I can have access to the 4g lte facilities on my 3g phone
No! Your phone must support 4GLTE for it to work.
OK thanks for the feedback
Nice one. i hope the speed doesn’t disappoint us
I live in Ilorin and I’ve been using Glo Internet since 2014. I’ve been patient with them.
But when I bought my Nokia 2.1 in October 2018 I was told it didn’t have band 28 to support Glo 4G network. In June this year I upgraded to Nokia 7 Plus with manufacturer specifications stating band 28 among the 4G bands. Yet when I sent 4G to 400 it replied that I have to change my Phone to a 4G enabled. I told Glo and replied that my Phone didn’t have their 4G band. But sometime I do see LTE on my Phone. And when I told them, they said it didn’t mean the Phone compatible with their band.
So as I read your info, I sent 4G to 400 here in Ilorin and still replied I didn’t have a 4G enabled Phone.
How long will it take them to install this facility? Anyway, I’ve concluded that once my current data subscription finishes, I’ll switch to Airtel. Airtel has the wildest coverage of 4G.
Is your Glo SIM a 4 enabled SIM? If you see LTE on your phone with your Glo SIM it means your smartphone is eligible. Neglect the lies reply you get from 400.
I use infinix smart 3 no 4g just h+
I use ULEFONE power 3s can I get the 4G?
Does it support the new band?
