How To Activate And Deactivate Call Barring & Call Diverting On Glo Network (2025): Full Configuration & Management Codes

Whether you're avoiding spam calls, redirecting important business calls, or trying to maintain peace during quiet hours, Glo Nigeria offers two major features to control your line: Call Barring and Call Diverting.

This guide walks you through the process of activating and deactivating these features using Glo's latest USSD codes and PIN configurations.

Part 1: Call Barring on Glo

What is Call Barring?

Call barring lets you restrict certain types of calls from going through your Glo line. You can block all outgoing calls, incoming calls, or even calls while roaming.

This is especially helpful when:

• You want to protect your airtime while sharing your phone
• You need to avoid unnecessary calls
• You're abroad and don’t want to receive calls

How to Check Call Barring Status

Part 2: Call Diverting on Glo

What is Call Diverting?

Call diverting (also called call forwarding) allows you to automatically forward incoming calls to another phone number under specific conditions.

This is useful if:

• You're unreachable or your line is off
• You're busy and can’t pick up
• You want another person to take your calls temporarily

Managing Call Settings Using Phone Menu (Alternative Method)

You can also manage call barring and call forwarding directly through your phone’s settings:

Steps:

1. Go to Call Settings
2. Select either Call Barring or Call Forwarding
3. Choose the option you want (e.g. “When busy”)
4. Enter the required number or PIN when prompted
5. Save changes and exit

This method works well for Android and iOS devices.

Important Notes

• Diverting calls to another number may attract standard Glo call rates.
• If you changed your barring PIN and forgot it, you’ll need to contact Glo customer care for a reset.
• A stable network signal is necessary to activate or cancel these services successfully.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What’s the default PIN for call barring on Glo?

The default PIN is 0000. You should change it if you're using call barring regularly.

Q2: Can I forward calls to numbers on other networks?

Yes. Glo allows call forwarding to any Nigerian number, even on MTN, Airtel, or 9mobile.

Q3: Will I be charged for using call divert?

Yes. If your calls are forwarded to another number, Glo will charge standard call rates based on your tariff plan.

Q4: Can I use both call barring and call divert together?

Yes, but only one condition takes effect depending on the situation. For example, if you divert when unreachable and also barred incoming calls, barring may override the forwarding rule.

Call barring and diverting on Glo give you full control over who reaches you and when. Whether you're securing your line, avoiding distractions, or managing calls better, these codes are easy to use and fully functional in 2025.

Simply use the USSD codes or phone menu to activate, deactivate, or check your settings in seconds.
