You just bought airtime on your Glo line and want to transfer the airtime to your other Glo line or the Glo line of a loved one, let me show you various easy ways that I have already tried on how to go about this.
I had to do this research when I really needed airtime on my other Glo line, because I wanted to make a call on it. However, I could not even buy airtime on my other Glo line. At that moment, what I needed was to be able to transfer airtime from my Glo line to my other Glo line.
After my research I discovered that there is a direct USSD code available for this specific transfer, and some other alternative methods, which have been tested, so you don’t need to worry.
1. How to Transfer Airtime From Glo to Glo Using The USSD Code
This is the most common method of transferring airtime from Glo to Glo because it is easy and convenient; here are the steps to follow to carry out the transfer:
- Dial *131# and wait for the prompt. If successful, Glo will ask you to input the recipient’s phone number, the amount you want to transfer, and your PIN.
- Alternatively, you can use the code *131*recipient’s* number*amount*PIN# to input all the required details at once.
How to Change Your Glo Transfer Pin
Before initiating the transfer, you need to change your default PIN (12345) to a new PIN of your choice. It’s important to note that the default Glo PIN for all subscribers is 00000. By following the steps below, you can set a new PIN of your choice:

If you have already changed your PIN but need to update it again, follow these steps:
- Dial *132*oldPIN*new PIN*new PIN# on your Glo line.
