Country code +234: how to call Nigeria and its number format.
You can complete a Glo Nigeria recharge online from abroad by entering the Nigerian number, choosing an airtime or data amount and paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with delivery in minutes. Top-ups start from $5.47. Glo numbers use the 234 dial code, and the leading zero is dropped, so 0802 123 4567 becomes +234 802 123 4567.

A Glo top-up from abroad is a direct recharge sent to the Nigerian number itself, not a voucher you forward. You enter the number, pick an airtime or data amount, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the value is delivered to the phone in minutes. The operator is detected from the number you enter.
Slashtel sells direct top-ups rather than codes, so the balance or data bundle arrives on the handset without the recipient doing anything. This suits two common situations: keeping your own Nigerian number alive for bank OTPs while you live overseas, or sending credit to a family member's Glo line at home.
Airtime top-ups carry no validity period, so the balance stays on the line until it is used. Data plans carry their own validity, shown against each plan.
The amount shown against each option is what lands on the Glo line. Airtime top-ups arrive as balance with no expiry, while data plans arrive as a bundle with the validity stated in the plan label. Some plans are taxed by the operator, and where that applies the figure shown is what remains after that tax.
Airtime options land as 7262 NGN, 14523 NGN, 21785 NGN, 29046 NGN, 43569 NGN or 72615 NGN of balance. Because airtime has no validity period, the credit remains available for calls, SMS and any bundle the line owner buys directly from Glo.
Data options include 300MB Data(1d), 875MB Weekend_200(2d), 6GB Special Data Plan (7d), 7.25GB Data Plan (30d), 17GB Data Plan (30d), 42GB Data Plan, 165GB Mega Data (30d) and 475GB Mega Data(90d). The label states the bundle size and the validity, so a plan marked 30d runs for 30 days and one marked 90d runs for 90 days.
Glo numbers in Nigeria have 10 digits after the country code. The dial code is 234, and the leading zero of the national number is dropped. So the national number 0802 123 4567 is written internationally as +234 802 123 4567. Entering the zero as well is the most common cause of a failed top-up.
If you are recharging your own line, use the number exactly as it appears on the SIM. If you are recharging a family member's line, ask them to read the number back to you rather than copying it from an old message, since a single wrong digit sends the value to a different subscriber.
The operator is detected from the number you enter, so once the digits are correct the Glo plans appear automatically. If a different operator is shown, the number does not belong to Glo.
Most failures come from the number rather than the payment. Check the digits, confirm the line is active and reachable, and make sure the operator shown matches Glo. If the payment was declined, the order will not have been delivered, and you can try again with another payment method.
A Glo line that has been dormant or barred may not accept a recharge until it is reactivated by the account holder. If the recipient's phone is switched off, the top-up can still complete on the network side, so ask them to restart the handset before assuming it failed.
Keep the confirmation you receive after paying. It shows the number, the amount and the plan, which is what you need if you have to follow up.
Payment is taken by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at the point of order, and the top-up is delivered to the number in minutes. There is no need to share a password, PIN or one-time code with anyone to complete a recharge, and no one should ask you for one.
Use a payment method in your own name and check the order summary before confirming, particularly the number and the plan label. Airtime and data are sent to the number you enter, so the review step is the point at which mistakes are still easy to correct.
Prices start from $5.47, and the amount that lands on the phone is stated against each option before you pay.
