Glo Yakata is a prepaid plan that is made default to new Glo subscribers while existing ones can subscribe to it free of charge. Subscribers who subscribe to the plan are rewarded with amazing bonuses. For details about this exiting data plan.
However good this data plan might seem, they are certainly not good for calls. Calls tariff charges from the main account as well as the bonus account is charged at 55K/S (N33/Min) on Glo to Glo calls, while calls are charged at 70K/S (N42/Min) on calls from Glo line other networks.
This is unfavourable to many who aren’t using the network as an all data network. Many have seeked after ways inwhich to deactivate this plan and there’s only one way which will be revealed as you read on.
In actuallity, am on the Glo Yakata plan but i hardly make use of my Glo sim card to mistakenly call anyone. Before knowledge of the rates at which call with this plan costs, i had to learn from experience. This isn’t a tale of my Glo line only, it’s a tale that led me to have a knowledge of tariff plans details before optioning-in.
If you had ever made a recharge of an above N100 which probably from former estimates was meant to last about some days. Knowingly or more unknowingly, unaware of the new plan you had gotten yourself into, made a long distance call – probably to home. You had expected a 5 min call with hope of some remainder but that wasn’t the view of technology. So, after about 2 min the call ended and your account empty (in this buhari time). If you have similar experiences, then try researching about the tariff plan you intend optioning into before doing so.
There are plans meant for calls and those meant for data – the best way to enjoy full network experience in Nigeria is to possess multi sim cards.
Now, even without being a long faithful subscriber of Glo, i’ve come to know that their data plans aren’t like those am accustomed to like the MTN,Airtel….. This is so because of the fact that once subscribed to their tariff plan, you can’t directly opt-out of it except by optioning into one of their tariff plans order than the one you are in now.
So everything being equal, to unsubscribe from Glo Yakata tariff plan, one has to register into some other juicy plans from Glo. Some of these tariff plans would be listed below for your convenience and all you have to do is to activate the one that suits you to get rid of the Yakata plan.
