Once this is done, your friend or whoever you want to transfer the airtime to will receive a notification message from Glo confirming their line has been credited with the exact amount you sent.
Come to talk of “Your PIN”, what does that mean?
Before you can successfully transfer airtime on any network, you’ll first need a transfer pin/code.
This will make the network know that you’re the one initiating the transaction and not an unauthorized person. Also, this code will prevent fraudsters from stealing your airtime.
Since the code is as important as that, then how do you get the Glo transfer code?

The Glo default transfer pin is 00000.
Now, for example; Say your intended new pin is 31045, just dial *132*00000*31045*31045#, then a pop-up will display on your screen asking you to confirm you requested a new pin. Once you confirm it, your pin will be changed to your new one instantly.
Please keep in my that your new pin must be entered twice, or else, you won’t be able to get a new Glo transfer code.
Once that is done correctly, you’ll receive a notification message from Glo confirming you just changed your transfer pin to a new one.
And that’s it, you can now proceed to transfer airtime by following any of the methods below.

Via SMS (Text Message)
I know there are lots of Glo users seeking how to transfer airtime on Glo via SMS.
But it is quite unfortunate that unlike MTN airtime transfer, where you can send an airtime transfer request to a specified MTN code, Glo doesn’t allow such.
Therefore, if someone is telling you that you can transfer credit on Glo via SMS, and glad to tell you that’s a very beautiful lie (Lol).
Calling the Customer Care Line
How to transfer credit on Glo by calling customer care. Is that possible?
For me, I think the answer is NO!
Think of it, if that is possible, that means a stranger can just take your phone and call customer care to transfer airtime from your line to theirs.
Now you get it.
As a matter of fact, I called the Glo customer care line for the purpose of this guide.
I spoke to a representative and asked her if they can help me transfer airtime from my number to another Glo number. She said no and refer me to the USSD code method. She called out the code, instructed me to do it the right way, and ended the call.
Therefore, it is not possible to transfer airtime by calling the Glo customer care line.
Sending a Mail to Glo Customer Care
If you’re among those searching for how to transfer airtime on Glo via Email, here’s an answer for you.
I don’t think it is possible to transfer airtime/credit on Glo via this method.
Think of it, how do you want the customer care to identify that you’re the real owner of the line?
I guess you now understand.
I also sent a mail to them asking them to help me transfer airtime from my Glo line (I stated the number) to another Glo line. But till the time of writing this article, I’ve never gotten a reply from them, and my account wasn’t charged.
Therefore, if it is possible, they will reply to me, or deduct the amount I asked them to transfer from my account balance.
