Portable Hotspot Mifi devices that work with Glo 4G

If you are searching for 4G LTE Portable Hotspot mifi devices that work with Glo 4G, we have compiled a list for your convenience. This list include their prices, as well as related useful information.

Most 4G mifi devices support Airtel, Ntel, 9Mobile and MTN 4G networks, because those networks use more common LTE bands. Glo 4G, however, uses the 4G LTE band 28, which is not supported by many smartphones and mifis. This is why you need to be specific when shopping for a mifi for use on the Glo 4G network.

While Glo sells a branded 4G Portable Hotspot mifi, it is locked to the network. We recommend that as much as possible, you buy an unlocked mifi device. This is because somewhere along the line, you will need to use it on another network. In Nigeria, that is almost a given, which is why we have taken the time to compile a list of 4G mifi devices that work with Glo 4G.

You do not want to be stuck on that inevitable day when you need to switch networks. Get a mifi that supports at least all the major 4G networks in the country – 9mobile, Airtel, MTN, Glo – and possibly Smile.

Let’s have a look at some of the available 4G mifi devices in the market that support Glo 4G.

Important Info for buying portable hotspot mifi devices that work with Glo 4G

Each of the above devices are variants of specific models, so be sure to look out for the model names as used in this article. Their other variants may not necessarily support LTE Band 28.

Also note that this list is not exhaustive. There are other 4G portable hotspot mifi devices that work with Glo 4G in the market. At all times, be sure to ask the retailer if the device supports Glo 4G. We strongly recommend that you take your Glo 4G SIM card along to test the device at the point of purchase.

When buying, emphasize that you want an unlocked mifi. Unlocked means you will be able to use it with other 4G networks.

Mobile App Management

Do not forget that, perhaps with the exception of the ZTE, all of these portable hotspot mifi devices that work with Glo 4G can be administered/managed via a compatible mobile app on your smartphone. The Huawei HiLink mobile app lets you block/approve users, manage data, change the hotspot password, and more.

How to control who can add you to a WhatsApp group

We prayed and fasted and petitioned without ceasing, and finally the gods of mobile have deemed it fit to smile on us . Facebook has implemented a way to control who can add you to a WhatsApp group. Somebody shout, Hallelujah!

If there is one thing I disliked about WhatsApp, it is how anyone with half a brain can grab you and yank you into a group you have no idea what it is about. As a matter of fact, the person who added you can be a complete stranger who got your number from Gondwanaland.

Horrible. Oh, and when you do choose to exercise your fundamental human right to leave, there is that silent scream, “Mister Mo has left the group“. Awon weyrey. They need to get rid of that too. I wasn’t asked to be added. Please don’t make noise when I opt to leave.

Anyway, first things first: we have this new feature that gives you control who can add you to a WhatsApp group. Let’s enjoy this small victory.

So, how do you go about doing this? Come with me.

How to control who can add you to a WhatsApp group

Launch WhatsApp on your phone and follow these steps:

Settings > Account > Privacy > Groups.

You will see three options under the Groups menu:

• Everyone: Select this to allow anyone and everyone who has your WhatsApp number add you to a group.
• My contacts: Select this option to restrict those who can add you to only numbers you have saved.
• Nobody: Select this to prevent anyone from adding you to a group without your consent. You see this option right here? This is the power to reclaim your sanity and privacy.

If you block everyone from adding you to a grpoup without your consent, anyone who wants to add you to a WhatsApp Group has to send you a private invitation. Isn’t this how it should have been from the beginning?

Anyway, a private invitation has an automatic expiry of 72 hours. If you don’t want to join the group, the invitation will automatically expire after 72 hours.

Update Your WhatsApp App

If you check your WhatsApp but cannot find this new WhatsApp Group feature, then you have to wait for it to arrive your device via an update. It will get to you in a matter of weeks.

When you are watching a YouTube video, you never expect to be distracted. That’s the reason why you need to carefully go through the video and remove all sorts of distractions that can be found in it.

USAMS Joe leather case for Samsung S9 Plus review

USAMS Joe leather case for Samsung S9 Plus offers simple and fashionable protection for this delicate premium, glass-covered smartphone. Mister Mobility reviews it.

I am not exactly a phone case person. I like beautiful phones and do not think that their beauty should be hidden. So, for the most part, I use my phones naked. Modern smartphones, however, keep getting more and more delicate. For some reason, we have had glass covered smartphones forced on us as the defacto standard for premium, which is why every high end smartphone in the market has glass all over.

Glass means fragile, and glass means slippery. Which is exactly what the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is. And because it is a large phone, it makes handling it even trickier.

Anyway, by a chance event, I got my hands on the USAMS Joe leather case for Samsung S9 Plus and though to play with it a bit. The manufacter calls it “Simple, fashionable protection”. After trying it out on my S9 Plus, I am inclined to agree.

Review of USAMS Joe leather case for Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

I like the fact that the USAMS Joe leather case for Samsung S9 Plus has cut-outs that keeps parts of the phone visible. As said before, there is no point hiding a work of beauty. Cut-outs exist at the bottom edge and both sides.

How does it feel in the hand? The leather case feels very good, and it is also lightweight. On the whole, it does not feel like any extra bulk has been added to the Galaxy S9 Plus, which is how I like it. It is already a big phone afterall.

Does the case protect the phone? I am hoping so. I still haven’t dropped it yet, and I have no plans to. But I can tell you that when I hold the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus in my hand now, I do not have that dread of it dropping and going SPLAT on the floor.

Hopefully, the USAMS Joe leather case will come through for me should that dreaded drop ever happen. Enjoy a few pictures of the leather case below.

USAMS Joe leather case for Samsung S9 Plus Photos

Before now, I do not recall ever hearing of USAMS. so this looks like my first encounter with a product of theirs. It has been a good encounter so far. Is this case going to make a convert out of me?

Maybe. I am counting down to 50 already and probably more prone to dozing off phone in hand. LOL. A beautiful case like this might help me keep a balance between keeping my smartphone fashionable and protected at the same time. Wish me luck.
