STEP 1: To activate Glo me2u pin, simply dial *132*00000*New_Pin*New_Pin#.

Note: 00000 is the default pin, also from my experience your new pin should be 5-digits

STEP 2: To transfer airtime on Glo, dial *131*the_beneficiary_glo_number*amount*your_PIN#.

Take for example you want to transfer N200 airtime to 08055233244 and your PIN is 11111. Just dial *131*08055233244*200*11111#. You will receive a notification on your phone prompting you to confirm your transfer, Press 1 to confirm or Press 2 to cancel.
