How to Check Your Glo Number

If you’ve ever inserted a Glo SIM card into your phone and couldn’t remember or find the number, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too — standing at a mobile shop counter, phone in hand, unsure of my own line. Whether you just bought a new SIM, switched devices, or haven’t used your Glo line in a while, knowing how to check your Glo number is essential.

You can check your Glo number in multiple ways: using a simple USSD code, through SMS, via customer care, on your phone settings, or using the Glo Café app. Each method works depending on what device you’re using and whether you’re connected to the internet or not.

1. Use the USSD Code to Check Your Glo Number

The easiest and fastest way to check your Glo number is by dialing a USSD code directly from your phone.

Here’s how to check your Glo number using a USSD code:

Dial *777# on your Glo line
Select “My Tariff Plan” or “My Number” from the options
Your Glo number will be displayed on your screen

Alternatively, dial 1244 and an automated voice will read your number aloud. This is especially helpful if you’re using a small phone or cannot read your screen.

These codes work on any type of phone — from basic feature phones to Android and iPhones. There’s no need for internet or data.

2. Send a Call or Flash to a Friend

If you have airtime or are eligible for flashing, another quick way to retrieve your Glo number is by calling or flashing someone nearby. Your number will appear on their phone screen, and you can copy it from there.

This works best when:

You’re in a location with a signal
You have access to another phone
You don’t remember the USSD code

If you’re out of airtime, you can also try using Glo’s “Call Me Back” service by dialing *125*recipient’s-number#. Once they receive your request, they can tell you the number they got it from.

3. Check Your Glo Number via SMS (Indirect Method)

While there’s no dedicated SMS code that sends your number back to you, you can still find out your Glo number by trying this:

Send a message to a friend or relative
Ask them to tell you the number that sent the message

It’s a simple, effective way to get your number — especially if you’re not familiar with USSD menus or are in a rush.

4. Use the Glo Café App (Smartphone Users)

If you’re using a smartphone and have data access, the Glo Café app offers a user-friendly way to manage your account.

Once installed and registered:

Open the app and log in with your Glo line
Your Glo number will be visible on the home screen or account profile section

The Glo Café app also allows you to check your airtime balance, data usage, bonus balance, loan balance, and more — making it a powerful tool beyond just finding your number.

5. Check Glo Number in Phone Settings

Your phone may automatically store and display your number once the SIM is active. To check:

On Android:

Go to Settings > About Phone > SIM Status
Your number may appear under “My phone number”

On iPhone:

Go to Settings > Phone
Look for “My Number” at the top

This method isn’t always accurate, especially on older SIM cards or if the number wasn’t stored correctly, but it’s worth trying.

6. Contact Glo Customer Care

Still having trouble? You can speak to a Glo customer care representative.

Dial 121 or 200 from your Glo line
Follow the voice prompts to speak to an agent
Ask them to confirm your number after verifying your identity

Glo’s customer support team is generally responsive and helpful, especially for resolving number-related or SIM registration issues.
