Hurray! Ghana is 55
I wish to express my profound gratitude to the Almighty God for a day like this and to our founder, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah for the key role he played in the struggle against colonial rule.
As we celebrate fifty-five (55) years since the end of colonial rule, let us remember and pray for the souls of all those who sacrificed in one way or the other to make our independence a reality.
The struggle is still on. It is now our turn to work fearlessly to move Ghana to the next level. Use this day to reflect on Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's message to Ghanaians on 6th March 1957.
Lastly, let's be responsible in our celebrations.
Long Live Ghana!
Glo Mobile Ghana releases another One million numbers for reservation
Glo Mobile Ghana Limited announced on Wednesday that it has reached the threshold set for its number reservation exercise.
This has prompted the company to introduce a second block of number series to enable as many people as possible to reserve their preferred numbers.
A statement issued by the corporate entity said on January 19, Glo Mobile Ghana Limited launched a ‘Reserve Your Number’ campaign as the first of activities lined up to usher in the highly anticipated Glo Mobile network.
The campaign offered up to one million number reservation slots to enable potential subscribers to reserve their preferred Glo numbers.
Chief Operating Officer, George Andah said: ‘We are highly impressed with the number of reservation requests we received for our 023 3 number series in the space of just two weeks; but we continue to receive several thousands of requests for reservations.
“In response to public demand therefore, the only logical option is for us to open a second number block to ensure that when we commence commercial operations, most people will use their preferred Glo numbers,’ he explained.
Glo Mobile Ghana has accordingly extended its Reserve Your Number campaign with effect from Wednesday, February 1, by introducing the 023 5 number block series, to ensure that the majority of potential subscribers use Glo numbers which they themselves have chosen.
George Andah said the new range of numbers can be reserved by simply adding the preferred last six digits to the Glo prefix 0235 and texting it to the Glo line 0230010100.
All reserved numbers will be redeemed by their owners at any Glo World outlet within seven days of commencement of commercial operation.
“Our system clearly indicates that several hundreds of people made reservation requests which turned out to have been successfully reserved by other persons and we believe that opening the 0235 number series would offer such people a second chance of owning a special or preferred Glo number,’ Mr Andah said.

How to reserve a Glo number
The wait is over. Glo's expected launch in Ghana has finally started with the official launch of a system that allows prospective customers to reserve their preferred numbers ahead of full operations.
According to Ghana's newest entrant into the telecommunications sector, customers can pre-register a number of their choice provided it is available.
Customers can then proceed to redeem their pre-registered numbers at any Gloworld or dealer shop WITHIN 7 DAYS when full operations start somewhere in February.
After successfully reserving mine, I thought it wise to share the process with you.
1. Pick your current phone and go to "Create Message".
2. Type in your preferred Glo number starting with 0233 plus six digits of your choice. E.g 0233 XXXXXX
3. Send this to: 0230010100
4. Wait for a confirmation message from Glo.
Note that the comfirmation message can take a while. If it fails, just keep trying till you get that juicy number of yours reserved.
How excited are you about Glo's entrance into Ghana? Share your thoughts below.
