How To Activate And Deactivate Call Barring, Diverting On Glo Network: Configuration & Management Codes

If you're using the GLO network in Nigeria and want to manage incoming and outgoing calls through features like call barring and call diverting, it's quite straightforward. These services can help you control who reaches you and when, whether you're busy, out of coverage, or simply want to block certain types of calls. In this guide, we’ll go through how to activate and deactivate these services on your GLO line.

Call Barring on GLO Network

Call barring is a feature that allows you to block specific types of calls, such as outgoing international calls or incoming calls while roaming. This is useful if you want to avoid certain charges or control who can contact you.

Steps to Activate Call Barring

To activate call barring on your GLO line, follow these instructions based on the type of call you want to block:

For Outgoing International Calls:

• Dial *331*barring code# and press send. The default barring code is usually 0000, unless you have changed it.

For Outgoing Local Calls:

• Dial *33*barring code# and send. This will block all outgoing calls except emergency numbers.

For Incoming Calls When Roaming:

• Dial *351*barring code# to bar all incoming calls when you are outside Nigeria.

For Incoming Calls Within Nigeria:

• Dial *35*barring code# to block all incoming national calls.

Steps to Deactivate Call Barring

To deactivate call barring, use the following codes:

To Deactivate Outgoing International Call Barring:

• Dial #331*barring code#.

To Deactivate Outgoing Local Call Barring:

• Dial #33*barring code#.

To Deactivate Incoming Call Barring When Roaming:

• Dial #351*barring code#.

To Deactivate Incoming National Call Barring:

• Dial #35*barring code#.

If you want to remove all types of barring, you can dial #330*barring code#.

Call Diverting on GLO Network

Call diverting, also known as call forwarding, lets you redirect incoming calls to another number. You can set this feature to activate under specific conditions such as when you’re busy, unreachable, or don’t answer.

How to Activate Call Diverting

GLO offers several options for activating call diverting:

Divert All Calls:

• Dial **21*phone number# and press send. This will forward all incoming calls to the specified number.

Divert Calls When Busy:

• Dial **67*phone number#. If you're on another call, incoming calls will be forwarded.

Divert Calls When Unanswered:

• Dial **61*phone number#. This forwards calls when you don’t pick up after a few rings.

Divert Calls When Unreachable:

• Dial **62*phone number#. This diverts calls when your phone is switched off or out of service range.

How to Deactivate Call Diverting

To cancel call diverting, use these codes:

Deactivate All Call Diverts:

• Dial ##002#. This will stop all types of call forwarding.

Deactivate Divert for Busy Calls:

• Dial ##67#.

Deactivate Divert for Unanswered Calls:

• Dial ##61#.

Deactivate Divert for Unreachable Calls:

• Dial ##62#.

How to Check Call Barring and Divert Status

You can easily check the status of your call barring and divert services with the following codes:

Check Call Barring Status:

• Dial *#33# for outgoing calls.

• Dial *#35# for incoming calls.

Check Call Divert Status:

• Dial *#21# to check if all calls are being forwarded.

• Dial *#67# to check divert status for busy calls.

• Dial *#61# to check status for unanswered calls.

• Dial *#62# to check for unreachable calls.

Important Considerations

• Barring Code: The default barring code for GLO is typically 0000, but you can change it by dialing *03*330*old code*new code*new code#. Make sure to remember this code, as you'll need it for both activation and deactivation.

• Cost of Services: While call diverting itself is free, you will be charged for the forwarded call based on your standard tariff plan. So, if the call is diverted to a local number, you will be charged as if you made a call to that number.

• Security Tip: Always ensure that you set a unique and secure barring code, as unauthorized persons could potentially change your settings if they know your default code.

In conclusion, managing your GLO network services like call barring and diverting gives you more control over your communication. By following the simple codes provided, you can easily activate or deactivate these features as needed.
