Glo Tariff Plans in Nigeria: Everything You Need to Know

Last updated: 23rd September 2026

Choosing the right tariff plan matters more than most Glo users realise. The plan you're on determines what you pay per second on calls, whether there's a daily access fee eating into your airtime, and how much you're charged when you browse without a data bundle.

Here's a full breakdown of Glo's current tariff plans, what a tariff plan actually is, and how to figure out which one suits you.

Quick Answer

Super Talk has the lowest listed national call rate at 15.5 kobo per second, but it comes with a ₦15 service charge on your first call of the day. Talk On charges 22 kobo per second with no daily fee, while Talk Masta charges 30 kobo per second and rewards long callers with 6 free minutes and 100MB of data after 6 minutes of calling.

What Is a Tariff Plan?

A tariff plan is simply the pricing structure your network charges you under it determines how much you pay per second for calls, whether there's a daily or fixed access fee, and what rewards or bonuses (if any) come attached to your usage.

Every Glo SIM is registered on a tariff plan by default, but you're not stuck with it. You can migrate to a different plan at any time, and different plans suit different habits someone who makes long calls benefits from a different structure than someone who calls briefly but often, or someone who barely calls at all and mostly uses data.

In short: your tariff plan is the rulebook for how your calls are charged, and picking the right one can meaningfully cut down what you spend every month.

Glo's Current Tariff Plans

Glo currently runs three main prepaid tariff plans, each built for a different kind of caller.

Talk Masta

Talk Masta is Glo's reward-based plan the trade-off is a higher call rate in exchange for free call time.

  • Call rate: 30 kobo per second
  • Reward: after 6 minutes of calling, you get 6 minutes of free call time, plus 100MB of free data
  • Best for: subscribers who tend to have long calls rather than short, frequent ones the free minutes and data make it worthwhile once you're regularly crossing that 6-minute mark

The higher per-second rate makes Talk Masta the priciest of the three for short calls, but the free call time and data bonus can make it the better deal overall if your calls typically run long.

Super Talk

Super Talk is Glo's lowest call-rate plan and currently the cheapest for national calls among Nigeria's major networks.

  • Call rate: 15.5 kobo per second for national calls
  • Daily access fee: ₦15 service charge, deducted from your first call of the day
  • Best for: subscribers who make calls regularly throughout the day, since the daily fee pays for itself quickly once you're actively calling

The catch is the daily access fee. If you barely make calls on a given day, you're still better off the fee only applies once you place a call, not just for holding the line. But if you go days without calling, you won't be charged at all.

Talk On

Talk On is Glo's no-daily-fee option, aimed at subscribers who don't want any fixed charges eating into their balance.

  • Call rate: 22 kobo per second for national calls
  • Daily access fee: None
  • Best for: light or occasional callers who'd rather pay a slightly higher per-second rate than commit to a daily fee

If you're not calling every day, Talk On often works out cheaper overall simply because you're not paying a service charge on days you don't need to call at all.

  • Super Talk gives you the cheapest per-second rate outright best if you're calling multiple times a day.
  • Talk On keeps things simple with no daily fee best if your calling is occasional and unpredictable.

How to Migrate to a Different Glo Tariff Plan

Migrating is straightforward, but the code you dial depends on which plan you're currently on:

  • Not on Talk Masta? Dial 606# to migrate to a new tariff plan.
  • Currently on Talk Masta (or any other tariff plan)? Dial 100# to migrate instead.

Beyond USSD, you can also:

  • Use the Glo Café app or MyGlo app, where your current tariff plan is displayed on your account dashboard, with the option to switch directly from there.

It's worth checking every so often plans and rates get revised, and a plan that suited you a year ago may not be the best fit for how you use your phone today.

Don't Forget: Data Still Needs Its Own Bundle

Your tariff plan governs your call rate it has nothing to do with your data bundle pricing, which is a separate purchase entirely. If you want to buy your Glo data without going through the Glo Café registration process, Gosub gives you access to the same Glo data bundles at a discount rate without needing to create a Glo Café account first just buy and go.
