AI agents for business finance: what they can and can't do
What AI agents can do in bookkeeping, close, collections and compliance today, where a person must stay in charge, and how to judge a product.
The short answer
To transfer Glo airtime, use Glo's share service: the NCC made 321 the share code for airtime and data on every network, so dial *321# and follow the menu to send airtime to another number. Many guides describe an older EasyShare format, *131*recipient number*amount*PIN#, with a default PIN you must change first; we could not find that format, the default PIN or a transfer limit on Glo's own pages in October 2026, so confirm them on the menu or with customer care before you rely on them.
Airtime transfer lets you send part of your Glo balance to someone else's line, often a family member who has run out, or a customer when you sell airtime informally. Glo's service has been known for years as EasyShare. This guide separates what the regulator and Glo confirm from what is only repeated on third-party sites, because sending airtime to the wrong number cannot usually be reversed.
What is confirmed
In June 2023 the NCC published harmonised short codes that every operator must support. Code 321 is listed for 'share airtime/data'. Glo's own data FAQs, checked in October 2026, refer to 321# as the route for adding a number to share data with, and to *312# for sharing and gifting data. So the 321 menu is the regulator-approved starting point for sharing on Glo.
| Code | What it does | Source |
|---|---|---|
| *321# | Share airtime or data (harmonised code) | NCC, Jun 2023 |
| *312# | Buy, share or gift data | Glo data FAQs |
| *310# | Check balance (harmonised code) | NCC, Jun 2023 |
| *303# | Borrow (harmonised code; Glo lists it for borrowing data) | NCC; Glo data FAQs |
The older EasyShare format
Many Nigerian blogs describe EasyShare as a single string: *131*recipient number*amount*PIN#, with a four- or five-digit default PIN that you change before your first transfer. We did not find this format, the default PIN or the PIN-change code on any Glo page we opened in October 2026. Operators moved many services to the harmonised codes after 2023, so an old string may still work, may have been redirected, or may have been withdrawn.
Our advice is to use the 321 menu, which prompts you for each detail, and to set or change any transfer PIN only through a menu or instruction that comes from Glo itself. Do not share your PIN with anyone who calls or messages you claiming to be from Glo.
Steps
- Check your balance with *310# so you know what you can send.
- Dial *321# from the Glo line that has the airtime.
- Choose the airtime option, then enter the recipient's Glo number carefully.
- Enter the amount. If the menu asks you to create or enter a PIN, follow it and keep the PIN private.
- Confirm, and wait for the SMS on both lines.
- Check your balance again to see what was deducted, including any charge.
Before you press confirm
- Read the recipient number back digit by digit. A wrong number is the most common and least fixable mistake.
- Check whether the menu shows a service charge. We could not confirm Glo's current transfer fee, if any.
- Check whether the menu restricts transfers to Glo lines only; the title of this service suggests it does, but confirm on the menu.
- Remember that bonus airtime usually cannot be transferred; only main balance can be shared on most networks.
Limits and charges
Third-party pages quote minimum and maximum transfer amounts and daily caps for EasyShare. We could not find any of these figures on Glo's site, so we are not repeating them. The 321 menu will reject an amount outside the current limit, and Glo customer care (300, the NCC harmonised call-centre code) can tell you the current rules for your line.
Worked example (illustration only)
Say you have ₦1,500 on your line and want to send ₦1,000. If the menu shows a ₦20 charge (an illustrative figure, not Glo's), your balance after the transfer would be ₦1,500 − ₦1,000 − ₦20 = ₦480. Checking your balance before and after is the only reliable way to see the real charge.
If the transfer goes wrong
If airtime left your line but did not arrive, or went to the wrong number, call Glo straight away with the time, amount and recipient number, and ask for a reference. Glo may be able to act only if the recipient has not used the airtime. If Glo does not resolve a failed transfer, the NCC's complaint procedure lets you escalate after giving the operator the first chance; see escalating a Glo complaint to the NCC.
Selling airtime informally
Some people use airtime transfer to resell airtime in their area. If you do, keep a simple record of every transfer: the date, the recipient number, the amount and what you were paid. A shared balance cannot be recalled once used, so take payment before you send, and never send airtime to someone who claims they have paid but cannot show a completed bank transfer. Glo's menu and SMS confirmations are your only record from the network side.
Where Pryme fits
Often it is simpler to buy airtime for the other person directly than to share your own balance. From the Pryme app you can buy Glo airtime or data for any Glo number and see the payment on your account history (airtime and data). If you want to share data instead, read how to share Glo data with another number.
Questions people ask
What is the code to transfer airtime on Glo?
Dial *321#, the NCC's harmonised share code, and follow the menu. Older guides give *131*number*amount*PIN#, which we could not confirm on Glo's site in October 2026.
What is the Glo default transfer PIN?
Glo's own pages we checked do not publish a default PIN. Follow the PIN prompt on the 321 menu or ask Glo customer care, and never share the PIN.
Can I transfer Glo airtime to MTN or Airtel?
Glo's share service is described as Glo-to-Glo. Check the 321 menu; to fund another network, buy airtime for that number from a bank or payment app.
How much can I transfer on Glo per day?
Glo did not publish a limit on the pages we checked. The menu rejects amounts outside the current limit, and customer care on 300 can confirm it.
