How to Check Glo Balance Instantly on Your Line

Real Example: Why I Always Check My Glo Balance Before Streaming
Last week, I started watching a live football match on my phone. Midway through the first half, the stream cut off—no data left. I hadn’t checked my Glo balance before launching the app. Since then, I always dial *323#
to confirm my data status before any heavy usage. Trust me, this habit saves headaches.
