How to Check Airtime Balance on Glo – All USSD Codes
Glo Nigeria provides several quick USSD codes to help you check your main airtime balance, bonus balances, data usage, and more. Below is an easy reference for the most commonly used Glo balance-checking codes. These codes can vary over time or by region, so if one doesn’t work, try the alternatives.
1. Check Main Airtime Balance
- Dial:
*124*1# - Response:
You’ll see an on-screen message or SMS showing your current airtime balance.
Alternate Code: *124# also works for some subscribers, displaying your main account balance.
2. Check Bonus Airtime Balance
- Dial:
*124*2# - Response:
This displays any bonus airtime or promotional credit you may have, separate from your main airtime balance.
3. Check Data Balance
Although not strictly for airtime, many users also want to track data usage:
- Dial:
*127*0#
or - Dial:
*777#→ Select “Data Services” → “Data Balance”
Either code or menu path should return your data balance, including any bonus data if applicable.
4. Additional Tips

Final Thoughts
Checking your Glo airtime balance is as simple as dialing a short USSD code. The primary codes are *124*1# for main airtime and *124*2# for bonus balances. If you also need to track data usage, try *127*0# or the menu under *777#. By using these codes, you’ll stay informed about your account status and avoid running out of airtime or data unexpectedly.
