GLO, one of the leading telecommunications network provider recently introduced a new tariff plan dubbed, Talkmasta 6 for 6 Plan. It’s known as the Talkmasta plan due to the nature of the bonus being given to users and why/how one can get credited. According to their announcement on social media, users get 6 minutes call time for every charges 6 minutes local calls. Upon first glance, as someone who rarely makes calls let alone 6 minutes call, I felt it wasn’t for me until I conducted deeper analysis.

So in this article, we will be breaking down all there is to know about the Glo talkmasta plan, the migration steps, eligiblity criteria, full details on the bonus structure and finally, the pros and cons (if any). Therefore, if you have plans to join the tariff plan or have heard about it or received an SMS notifying you about it’s existence but don’t understand fully how it works, this article will serve as a source of enlightenment.

About GLO Talkmasta 6 for 6 Plan

The GLO Talkmasta plan as the name implies is a tariff plan that rewards users with 6 minutes free call time (not airtime) for every cumulative 6 minutes call made. That is to say, if within a space of 24 hours or a day, you make 6 minutes call cumulatively i.e. mustn’t be on a single call, you will be given extra 6 minutes to call anyone for free.

The fact that you get the extra call minutes for making calls for 6 minutes cumulatively is the reason why it’s called, the Talkmasta plan and from what I could gather, the plan doesn’t require users to do anything special or difficult. You just have to migrate as an existing GLO user in order to start getting the benefits of the tariff plan. But it doesn’t end at just making calls, you also get free 50 MB data for every 6 minutes call you make.

So the rewards come in both call time and data for users who like to browse as well.

Eligiblity Criteria

There is no special eligibility criteria to be able to get the rewards of the Talkmasta plan. All you need is to either get a new GLO sim or migrate to the plan if you are an existing user. According to the network, all new users will be placed on the plan and as such eligible for the call time and data as well as a welcome bonus that will be discussed on here.

Special Offer for New GLO Customers

As a new GLO customer who is automatically on the Talkmasta plan, you are eligible for 2,000 Naira bonus and 1GB data when you make the first 100 recharge after activating your sim.

This bonus offer was announced alongside the Talkmasta and as such, anyone who recently purchases a glo line will not only be eligible for extra 6 minutes for every 6 minutes call charged, he or she will be given the aforementioned bonus once a recharge of 100 naira is made.

So it’s a super win-win for anyone who has plans to join the GLO network at this time.

Migration Code for GLO 6-for-6 Plan

The migration code is *606# and once you dial it, you will be asked to confirm as an old or existing user. If within the past 30 days, you’ve never made any migration or change of tariff plan, your migration to talkmasta or 6-for-6 will be free but if you have made a migration in less than 30 days, your migration will incur 100 naira charge.

The charge will be made on your existing balance and you will be moved to the new tariff plan to start getting the benefits.

How to Check Bonus Balance on Talkmasta

To check your bonus balance while on the plan, simply dial *310*2# to reveal all the bonuses you have gotten courtesy of the Talkmasta plan. It’s a very interesting offer from the network, even more interesting for people who have plans to join the network anytime soon.

How Long Does the Free 6 Minutes Last?

The free 6 minutes call time credited to users after they’ve made a total of 6 minutes charged calls, will be valid for just 24 hours after which, it will be removed and users would have to make further calls to qualify for extra bonus.

So going from everything being discussed, it’s clear the Talkmasta plan is meant/designed for people who are active callers and not for just heavy internet users like myself. I guess it’s a way for the network to encourage users and intending subscribers who are active callers.

Cons

This whole article has literally been about discussing the positive aspects or things about the Glo talkmasta 6 for 6 Plan but does it mean, there is nothing not-so-good about it? Well here are a few things about the plan that you may not find so appealing;

1. International Calls are not covered — users who make international calls will not be able to use the free 6 minutes call time as it’s just designed for local calls across all networks. So if you are someone who always makes international calls, this plan may not in any way alleviate the costs you incur on those calls and even when you get rewarded, the reward will only apply for local calls i.e. calls within Nigeria.

I feel this is one of the areas that are not so good about the 6 for 6 Plan. However, most people make local calls, so it may not count as a downside so much for them.

2. No Tangible Reward for Heavy Internet Users — imagine being given 50mb for making 6 minutes calls in a day as an Internet user? What are you possibly going to do with such amount of data. I guess GLO just designed in with the heavy callers in mind, the extra 50mb bonus is entirely not so useful to anyone who uses a smartphone and browses the internet.

The only customers who will enjoy something slightly better are new customers as they receive 1gb free data alongside the 2,000 Naira bonus. So I would say, the Talkmasta is exactly what it’s name implies. Mainly designed for callers and not for Internet users. Verdict! Not a win for Internet users.
