How to Transfer Airtime on Glo (aka Glo Me2U)
To make use of this service on Glo for the first time, the first step is to create your Glo me2u pin (step 1). Just follow the step below:
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
Take for example that you want to set ‘11111’ as your new PIN, simply dial *132*00000*11111*11111# You will receive a notification on your phone prompting you to confirm your pin change, Press 1 to confirm or Press 2 to cancel.
After completing step 1 (which is only necessary if you are using the Glo me2u for the first time), Here is how to transfer your airtime.
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.
