1. APK Downloader

APK downloader is a tool that fetches the installer file for any free Android app on Playstore. It exists both as an online tool and as an extension for Google chrome browser on PC.

Easiest Way To Use GLO bis on Android

In a bid to have access to cheap internet on our Android devices, our ISPs came up with their different Android plans which to some are still expensive as it cannot match the rate of subscribing to a blackberry device. To fix this, we devise a strategy to use the GLO BlackBerry plan which gives 3GB of data for #1,000 on our Android devices.

The process which involves the changing/masking of the IMEI of our Android devices to a blackberry IMEI has been in trend since over a year now and has been trusted by thousands of Android users in Nigeria.

• Read: Best Internet Data Plans 2015

This post will guide you through the whole process and in a matter of few minutes, your service should be up and running.

How To Set Up GLO BlackBerry Plan On Android

Firstly, we will need to generate a blackberry IMEI which will be swapped with the one that came with your Android device, this can be easily achieved with the help of an android app; BBgen which can be downloaded from here

After generating an Imei from the BBgen app, we will now proceed to tweaking the generated Imei to your Android device. To tweak the Imei on an MTK Android device, follow the steps we have outlined for you in this post:

• How To: Change The IMEI Of Your Android MTK Device Without Rooting It

After successfully tweaking the generated Imei to your device, the next step is to create a new apn for the Android device. A new apn with the following inputs should be created and activated as default.

-------------------------------------------
Name: GLO bis
apn: blackberry.net
-------------------------------------------

With this being done, the final step is now to subscribe and start enjoying GLO bis on your Android device. To subscribe to the GLO bis plan, send keyword COMONTH to 777 as text message.

NOTE: if you are subscribing for the first time, I'll suggest you do that on a blackberry device for fast activation as there are usually activation issues with an Android device, sometimes, you'll have to be refunded if they couldn't complete the subscription for you so doing it on a blackberry device is your best bet.

Also, if you'll be renewing your subscription, always wait till your previous plan expires before subscribing to a new one, as subscribing while an existing plan is still valid will result in errors in subscribing after 3 months of consequent renewals.

I have been using this plan for over a year now so you shouldn't have any issues with it. Although, you're free to use the comment box if you experience any issues.
