Tired of annoying Glo flash messages and promotional pop-ups? Learn how to stop unwanted Glo ads, messages, and subscription prompts using USSD codes and SMS in 2025.


Why Am I Getting Glo Flash Messages and Ads?

Glo users in Nigeria often complain about unwanted pop-up messages or flash ads that appear during calls, while browsing, or after recharge. These messages usually promote:

  • Value-added services (VAS)
  • Caller tunes, sports updates
  • Religious or health tips
  • Auto-renewal offers

They’re designed for upselling but can become annoying, and may even lead to unintended charges if clicked.


How to Stop Glo Flash Messages in 2025

Method 1: Use the Glo VAS Unsubscribe Portal

  1. Dial *777#
  2. Select Value-Added Services or VAS
  3. Choose Manage Subscriptions
  4. Select services to unsubscribe from

This helps you remove any paid VAS linked to those flash messages.


Method 2: Text STOP to Glo Service Numbers

If you remember the service sender ID (like 55051, 5058, etc.), text:

STOP to 2442

Or:

CANCEL to the specific short code (e.g., 55051)

This is a universal opt-out code in Nigeria regulated by NCC (Nigerian Communications Commission).


Method 3: Turn Off Flash Messaging via SIM Toolkit

  1. Open SIM Toolkit or Glo Services on your phone
  2. Tap on Flash Service
  3. Choose Activation or Flash Notification
  4. Select Deactivate or OFF

This disables the automatic display of pop-ups on your screen.


Bonus Tip: Check for Hidden Charges

To check if you're subscribed to any paid services:

Also, consider migrating to a Glo plan like Glo 22x or Berekete with fewer VAS promotions.


Unwanted Glo flash messages and ads can be frustrating, especially when they lead to deductions. With the steps above, you can fully control your line, prevent accidental subscriptions, and enjoy a cleaner mobile experience in 2025.
