A connection is then made to AirtelTigo's towers ---> AirtelTigo's network ---> Glo's network.


Aside from roaming, Glo added its other 3G network (10712) to more locations.



With a Glo SIM, use the shortcode *555# to purchase services, check your number, or check your balance. Try smaller bundles before trying bigger ones, there are a lot of factors that affect speed and connectivity.

Troubleshooting


AirtelTigo does not appear.

1. Some phones can display AirtelTigo as 62003 or Tigo or Mobitel or MIC or Millicom, select that.

2. Change your settings, select 3G/2G auto. Roaming works on both.

3. Your phone must support 900MHz, 1800MHz, or 2100MHz.

4. There is no signal, wait for issues to be solved or use it in another area.


Data is slow.

1. Switch off your VPN.

2. Change your settings, select 3G only.

3. Use the phone or modem at a different time or try moving the phone or modem in any way.

4. Wait, it may be solved.


Selector displays "RAT", is my phone hacked?

No. RAT stands for Radio Access Technology, like 3G or 2G.


Selector greyed out or unavailable.

Unfortunately, this may happen on some phones or modems. Insert the SIM into some other phone or modem then select AirtelTigo to attempt to remove AirtelTigo from the forbidden networks. If your phone or modem can receive 3GPP AT commands, use AT+COPS=1,2,"62003"


No data, error 33 0x21 Requested service option not subscribed.

Do not select IPv6 in the APN settings.

How to select a network on a router?

A router tends to have a website that you can use to change its settings. Look at the router's back or its box, or try one of these: http://router-network.com


What's the APN to use data?

name: any, APN: internet, Protocol: IPv4, empty Proxy, empty Port.

Call Quality of all networks in Ghana



Call quality depends on the number you're calling*, your network*, 3G or 2G being used*, congestion, signal strength, interference, noise, how both networks are connected together, and audio processing done by phones.


* Provided by tables on this page.


Audio compression formats and bit rates were taken from calls made on phones that support WB-AMR. Results may differ on phones that don't support it. WB-AMR(Wideband Adaptive Multi-Rate) can transfer more kinds of sound waves compared to NB-AMR(Narrowband Adaptive Multi-Rate).


Vodafone Ghana's 4G was excluded because CSFB is used for calls (calls are either on 3G or on 2G).


This is a list of the best audio compression format and bit rate known for each combination. A higher quality may be available.


Calls may have a low quality or may drop if the signal is bad. 


Even in compatible phones, WB-AMR is not guaranteed, NB-AMR/EFR may be negotiated in some cases.


Even though WhatsApp calls are more likely to provide a higher quality, 2G/3G calls are more likely to skip traffic.


"Shortcode" includes 1303 on MTN.


2G doesn't reuse frequencies like 3G, making it less likely to have a call drop due to interference, but it is still possible.


On 3G and 4G, voice and data can be used simultaneously.


Landlines, international calls, and roaming were not tested.


The NCA publishes statistics about call quality. See https://google.com/search?q="quality+of+service"+site:nca.org.gh+filetype:pdf and https://google.com/search?q=site:mos.nca.org.gh
