How To Transfer Airtime From Glo To Other Network Like MTN & Airtel
Currently, Glo does not support direct airtime transfers to other networks such as MTN or Airtel. Airtime transfer services on Glo are limited to Glo-to-Glo transactions only, meaning you can only send airtime to other users on the Glo network.
While direct airtime transfers from Glo to MTN or Airtel aren’t possible, here are a few alternative options you can consider:
- Recharge through Bank Apps: You can use your bank’s mobile app to send airtime directly to an MTN or Airtel number. This process essentially uses your bank balance instead of transferring airtime from your Glo account.
- Third-Party Apps: Several payment platforms, like Opay, Paga, or PalmPay, allow you to recharge any mobile number in Nigeria, regardless of the network. You would need to fund your account on these platforms to buy airtime for MTN, Airtel, or other networks.
- Share Funds Indirectly: You could transfer airtime to a friend with a Glo line, and they could then use their own bank app or third-party payment app to send airtime or data to the MTN or Airtel number as needed.
