How To View Glo Data Shared Numbers | Step By Step Guide
Sharing my data balance with friends and family is very useful for me. But it can sometimes get confusing to track how much data others have shared with my number. I often need to check the list of numbers who have shared their Glo data packs with me. Without knowing the exact numbers who have shared data, it is difficult for me to figure out my total available data balance.
Recently, when my phone internet became very slow, I wondered if my main data pack had finished. Then I remembered five of my friends had shared some Glo data with me last week. But I just could not remember their numbers to check details of data shared with my number! Not being able to view the exact numbers which sent me shared data was the main problem for me.
How To View Glo Data Shared Numbers
After realizing I needed to view the numbers who had shared data with me, I decided to use USSD code and SMS method to get these details quickly. USSD and SMS is the best way to get real-time information from Glo without internet access.
View Shared Data Numbers Via USSD
Using USSD codes to view my Glo shared data numbers provided quick answers whenever I was unsure of my total available data balance from friends. After facing slow internet speed a few times, I now try to regularly check the numbers sharing data through this fast USSD method.
To view shared data numbers via Glo USSD process, I simply:
- Dial *127*0# from my phone in dial pad
- Wait for prompt to show options
- Select option 3 for Data share view
- Check list of numbers and data details
The structured points display helped me avoid any confusion when using the USSD shortcut. I could easily match the step by step process which ensured I picked the correct menu and got the details I needed. Compared to trying SMS or calling customer care, this is much faster.
After following the steps, I can see the actual phone numbers and amount of data balance shared with me by each number. Clear visibility of 10 digit mobile numbers and data volume shared makes calculating my total extra data simple. Whenever I need it, viewing data share numbers via USSD codes gives me up-to-date details in seconds!
View Numbers Via SMS
Using SMS to view my data sharing list is useful when I need offline access or want to save the details. The SMS option is very convenient for later reference even without internet connectivity.
To leverage the SMS shortcut, I simply open the messaging app on my phone and type the word “List” without quotes in a new message to number 127.
I make sure to send this SMS directly from my primary registered Glo number on which my friends and contacts share their data packs. Within seconds of sending the SMS, I receive an automated response message from Glo listing the data sharing information I need.
The reply SMS displays details in an easy to understand format:
- First my main data plan balance is shown.
- Below that, my shared data numbers are listed with amount shared by each number.
For example – the SMS says 08123456789 has shared 50MB with my number. This helps me tally the specific mobile numbers who have sent me data and the data volume shared from each contact.
I prefer the SMS option when I need data sharing records instantly or for future reference without relying on mobile internet connectivity. The simplified “List” SMS gives me all numbers contributing to my overall data balance.

Important Things To Note
When checking numbers who shared data with me, I also learnt some useful things to manage data sharing properly:
- Expiry Date: The SMS shows validity period left to use data shared by others For example: “3GB from 08088888888, expires in 6 days”
- Same Network: Data sharing will work only if all numbers are registered Glo users So even my 1GB Glo Yakata plan balance increases
- Daily Limits: Based on my base plan, total 1GB data can be received from different numbers together per daySystem may block extra data shared beyond 1GB/day
Keeping these simple but important points in mind helps me maximize the value from data my contacts share and manage it better.
