How to Check if Someone is Sharing Your Data on Glo

If you’ve noticed your Glo data finishing faster than usual, there’s a chance someone might be sharing your data without your knowledge. While Glo’s data sharing feature is useful for families, friends, and small teams, it can become a problem if you accidentally add someone or if someone gains access to your account details.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to check if someone is sharing your Glo data, how to stop unauthorized sharing, and how to secure your account to prevent it from happening again.

Why Data Sharing on Glo is Important — and Risky

Glo’s data sharing feature allows subscribers to add up to five Glo numbers to share data bundles. This is helpful for:

Parents sharing data with children
Friends pooling data together
Businesses sharing data with staff

However, if your number is exposed or you mistakenly grant access, your data can be drained quickly, leading to unexpected costs.

USSD Code to Check Who is Sharing Your Glo Data

The simplest way to find out who is sharing your Glo data is by using the official Glo USSD code:

Step-by-step:

Dial *127*00# on your Glo line.
Wait for a message or on-screen display showing the list of numbers currently sharing your data.
Review the list carefully — if you see a number you don’t recognize, it means someone has access to your data.

Alternative method via SMS:

Send "List" to 127 via SMS.
Glo will send you a list of all active numbers sharing your bundle.

How to Check Data Sharing Status via Glo Café App

Another easy way to manage your Glo data sharing is through the Glo Café App:

Download and install the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Login with your Glo number and OTP verification.
Go to Data Services → Manage Data Sharing.
You will see a list of all numbers linked to your data plan.
You can remove any unauthorized numbers directly from the app.

How to Remove Someone from Your Glo Data Sharing List

If you find an unknown number on your list, here’s how to remove it immediately:

Method 1: USSD

Dial *127*02*GloNumber# (replace “GloNumber” with the actual number you want to remove).
Example: *127*02*08050000000#

Method 2: SMS

Send "Remove GloNumber" to 127.
Example: Remove 08050000000

Method 3: Glo Café App

Open the app, go to Manage Data Sharing, tap the number, and select Remove.

How to Prevent Unauthorized Data Sharing on Glo

Once you’ve removed unauthorized numbers, take these steps to secure your account:

Never share your Glo SIM or phone with people you don’t trust.
Set a phone lock and SIM PIN to prevent unauthorized access.
Avoid posting your phone number publicly on social media.
Regularly check your data sharing list using *127*00#.
Use the Glo Café App for easy monitoring and control.

How to Monitor Your Glo Data Usage

If your data still drains too fast after removing unknown numbers, you can check your data balance and usage:

USSD Code: Dial *127*0# to see your remaining data.
SMS: Send “Info” to 127.
Glo Café App: View your daily and weekly usage trends.

Final Thoughts

Knowing how to check if someone is sharing your data on Glo is important for keeping your internet usage under control. Whether you use the USSD code *127*00#, SMS commands, or the Glo Café app, monitoring your sharing list regularly ensures you stay in control of your bundle.

If you’ve been experiencing unexplained data loss, act immediately — remove unauthorized numbers, secure your account, and track your usage daily.
