Why GLO has been rated as the best.......

Throughout the evolution of mobile telephone services in Nigeria, the fourth entrant into the market who came in as the second national carrier next to NITEL,  Globacom has always played a pioneering role.

In 2003, the company came into the market with the mantra of innovation operating with the 2.5G GPRS network, while others were running on the legacy 2G infrastructure. The 2.5G enabled Glo Mobile to offer superior quality of voice calls as well as Value Added Services (VAS).

With this, Globacom could provide value added services like M-banking, text2email, Magic Plus, Multimedia Messaging Service and vehicle tracking,  among other avant-garde and revolutionary services that others could not offer. Instantly, it imbued Nigerians with a sense of immense pride.

The network continued to blaze the trail and went on to launch the 3G network. The other networks eventually followed suit as they also launched both the Blackberry and 3G services, which Glo had earlier launched with great pomp. The era of 3G communication saw the explosion of data-based telecommunication and mobile internet services.  Innovations in the data sector became a game-changing phenomenon that gave Globacom a golden gilt edge. Globacom helped to place Nigeria in the league of online nations where business and social communication were done on-the-go.

However, one barrier existed between the subscriber and this modern and vast resource – cost of data bundles. While the bandwidth was available, customers often could not afford the cost of many services over the World Wide Web (WWW). Audio streaming, not to mention video streaming or heavy data usage for most internet data users was out of the question.

Not many data customers could afford to buy up to 1 Gigabyte of data bundle. Many depended on small plans that gave 100 or 200 megabyte  and at most 500 megabytes.
