I apologize, I’ve not written this article earlier as requested by some of my readers. I receive a lot of questions about GLO 4G LTE, some of main questions are below and i will also be providing answers to every question listed below.
“Hello, what devices can GLO 4GLTE work on?”
“I have a 4G smartphone, can GLO 4G work on it?”
“I have a 4G Mifi or router, can GLO 4G work on it?”
“I heard GLO 4G uses a weird 4G band, what 4G band frequency does GLO 4G use?”
“What phones are compatible with GLO 4G”?
“What 4G devices like routers, mifi or modem can work with GLO 4G”?

1. I heard GLO 4G uses a weird and rare 4G band

Yes, you heard correctly GLO indeed uses a weird, not so common 4G band frequency but what you don’t hear is that the band GLO selected is very good due to its high efficiency and higher penetration inside buildings coupled with wider coverage.

2. What is Band 28(700MHz) Frequency?

The 4G 28(700MHz) band is one of the most sought after band for LTE deployment around the world with countries like United States, Canada, China, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore using it due to its efficiency and higher penetration inside buildings and wider coverage which reduces the number of radio towers required for setting up the LTE network which significantly cuts down the cost of setting up and making the LTE network go LIVE for nationwide use.

3. I have a 4G smartphone/Tablet can GLO 4G work on it?

You have a 4G phone or tablet and you can want to use it with the GLO 4GLTE network, you need to do the following;
  • Send 4G to 400 to know if GLO4GLTE can work on your phone or tablet.
  • View the list below to check if your phone is among the few compatible phones.
Don’t worry if your phone or tablet is not on the list, it’s not your phone’s fault, the fault lies with GLO and the rare 4G band frequency they chose to run their LTE service on. I will show you an easy way to enjoy GLO 4G, get 10GB of data all for just 20,000 naira.
