If you are interested in browsing the internet with your computer or mobile phone and you are on the Glo mobile network in Nigeria, you can do this by;

1. Get a Glo sim card, if you don't already have one
2. Set up GPRS or 3G on your phone
3. Connect your phone to the computer/Laptop and start browsing

Setting up GPRS or 3G Service on your phone

Go to the settings for your phone and put the following. Different phones come with different buttons.

For Nokia:
Menu >Services > Settings > Connection settings > Active service settings > Activate

3g settings are as follows:
Name Value
Service name Glo 3G
APN glo3gvideo
User name Wap
Password Wap
Authentication Normal
IP address 10.100.98.22
Port address 3130
Homepage http://cms.gloworld.com

Those are the manual configuration settings as you will have to configure it by hand.
You can also configure these settings on your computer suppose you want to use the computer to browse, just start up you phone's software like the Nokia PC suite for Nokia

which kind of external modem. if you havea glo sim card and then a hspda device where you can insert your glo sim card, then all you need to do is set up the modem on your computer and install the software using it to connect to the internet.
You will use the glo internet settings configured on your computer using control panel functions and then start browsing when you are connected
