The glo cafe Special Data Plans as the name implies are data plans aimed at getting users to make use of the cafe mobile application more often because, the plans are only accessible via the app. If you are interested in purchasing the special bundles, you need to download the GLO cafe app and create an account using your number to be able to access the bundles. From the features and validity period, it’s another version of the Digital Bundles we got from MTN.

This article is aimed at not just introducing you to the newly added data bundles but also, a breakdown of the positive and negative things about the data bundles as well as how you can activate the plans. Therefore, if you are here for the sake of learning more about the Gcafe Special Data Plans, I’d say you are on the right page.

About GLO Cafe Special Data Plans

As the name suggests, these data plans are only available through the GLO cafe application and they are special, in the sense that, you get to get more data allocation for spending less amount of money. Thereby, reducing the chances of breaking the bank just to stay online.

There are four data plans available under the special category and they all have specific validity period. The higher plans have extended validity period while the very affordable plans have shorter validity period.

Gcafe Special Plans Pricelist & Validity

1. 200 Naira GCafe Special – this is the most affordable plan in the special category and it’s just valid for a day. Meaning, if a subscriber should purchase the plan, he or she would receive 1GB data plan valid for just 24 hours. After the 24-hour period, the data plan will expire and the user would have to either purchase again or opt for other higher plans.

2. 300 Naira GCafe Special – this is the second on the list and when subscribed, the user will receive 2GB data valid for just a day. It is similar to the first in terms of validity, there is need to ensure you have a lot to download before you proceed to purchase this plan.

3. 500 Naira GCafe Special – when you subscribe with 500 naira, you will instantly receive 3.5GB data valid for 2 days. This is highly enticing because other weekly plans that can be purchased with same amount don’t give same allocation. Additionally, the extended validity period makes it worthwhile for people who have quite a few things to do on the Internet.

4. 2,000 Naira GCafe Special – this is the highest in terms of both allocation and validity period. Subscribers who activate the plan will be given 15gb data which is valid for 7 days. So you have a week to use up the allocation given to you.

Activation Process

Since the data plans are special glo cafe plans, you need to have an account on the application before you can access the plans.

This is due to the fact that, there is no option to buy the plans via ussd. So you are left with no option than, to download and create an account. It will be a case of killing two birds with one stone because there is an instant 75gb data reward for all new users of GLO Cafe app.

The Cafe app can be downloaded from either Play store or Apple store. Search for it and download. Create an account and login using your line.

Recharge your line with the amount you want to use in purchasing one of the special data plans. Go through the Pricelist above to know the amount you should have in mind and the plans that suit your needs.

After recharging your line, login to GLO cafe and click on Buy Data > you will be shown a couple of data packages, simply select GLO Cafe Special Data Bundles, then you will be shown all the special plans.

Choose the one you want and proceed to activate either using your airtime balance or directly using your debit card. It’s best to use your airtime balance as not everyone will be comfortable with entering their debit card details on a mobile application.

The desired plan will be added to your data bundles and the respective amount taken from your account balance and then you can start surfing the web.

Pros

There are a few good things about the GLO cafe Special plans and they are as follows;

• Affordable – undoubtedly, the special data plans makes browsing less expensive for people especially considering how tough the economic situation has become.
• Higher Allocation – the data allocation is special to be honest. It’s nothing short of being special and if you are the type of person who does a lot on the Internet but always having issues with data, the Gcafe Special Data Plans may be well suited for you.
• Can be accumulated – considering how cheap the data plans are, I thought GLO would place a form of restriction on how many times subscribers can purchase the plans in a day, but that’s not the case. You can actually accumulate the data plans as much as you want.

Cons

As with every other thing, whatever has positives, must have negatives or areas that are not really enticing; below are some of the negative aspects of the special data plans;

• Validity period – the validity period is not really enticing or meant for long-term activity. You should only opt for the plans if you have some serious things to do on the Internet.
• No Auto renewal or Rollovers – this is another area that is worth noting. The glo cafe Special Data Plans don’t have the auto renewal and rollover feature. So once purchased, you either use it completely within the validity timeline or the data expires and you have to purchase again to continue browsing.
• Can only be activated through the GLO cafe app. This shouldn’t be a disadvantage but since not everyone would want to download the self-care app, it’s certainly going to be a deal breaker.

Conclusion

The glo Cafe Special Data Plans are quite enticing and nice for subscribers who are on a budget and finding it difficult to keep up with their Internet activities due to lack of data. You can stick to the data plans to enjoy higher allocation for without breaking the bank.

Thanks.
