What you Should Understand About the Delays in Glo BIS Activation!

Day in day out I hear people complain that they have subscribed to the monthly Glo BIS plan but their subscriptions won’t just get activated and that they have waited and waited even after their 1k has been deducted.

And whenever they check the status of their activation by dialling *777*0#, they keep on receiving the reply that activation is pending and still under processing.

Some have even concluded that Glo BIS no longer works both on blackberry and android via IMEI tweaking since their subscriptions won’t just get activated.

And you know that whenever you subscribe to Glo BIS plan, you are often ask to switch off your device, remove battery and reinsert again to activate your subscription, and even after doing it, you still notice that activation is still pending.

While some on the other hand always advise people to insert their SIMs into blackberry device before subscribing and that that will solve the delays involve in activation.

But here is the real deal and what you should know about the delays involved in the activation of Glo BIS;

First of all, for tweak lovers, I want to tell you categorically that Glo BIS has never stopped working on android via imei tweaking ever since its discovery and till this very moment that we are writing this, it is working seamlessly, and I don’t see it stopping in the nearby future.

Now, pertaining on which device you should use to subscribe for your Glo BIS; the device to use does not matter in any way, you can use any device you have to subscribe, even Nokia Torch will do the job perfectly and equally as it will with BB device.

Let’s now talk about the message you often receive that always ask you to remove battery and reinsert battery again before you activation will be live; my dear brothers and sisters, for me that message is hogwash, and so you can always ignore it and be rest assured that your subscription will still be activated without doing that.

Then coming down to the delay in activating subscriptions which is the main deal of today’s topic, there are two factors involved and they are;

1.    If you are using a new SIM for the first time to subscribe to Glo BIS, then be rest assured that your subscription activation will be kept pending for almost 24hours, meaning you just have to wait for 24hours after subscription for it to be activated; in few cases, it will not reach 24hrs exactly before your subscription will be live.

Again, if you have not made use of your SIM for at least 1month and you now use it to subscribe, then your SIM is also seen as new SIM in that instance and there will be within 24hrs delays in activating such SIM.

2.    Secondly the other common cause of delay in activating Glo BIS subscription is network related issues; when Glo bb servers are down, then also be rest assured that your BIS activation will also be delayed, but in this case it can come up any moment and not necessary 24hrs wait as the first case.

Finally, anything other than those 2 causes of delays in Glo BIS activation, activation is instant and for the new SIMs, the delays are only in first time activation; subsequent activations is also instant if there are no network issues at time of subscription.
