How to change your sim IVR language

How to change your sim IVR language.

Sim language

Earlier today I had an issue with topping up airtime on my Glo sim and the only solution suggested to me was to call the Glo customer care. In compliance, I dialed the customer care number to place my complaint but the language I was hearing was strange and I couldn't understand a bit of what they were saying. I guess this might have been your experience too and you are would want to know how to change this language to a language you would understand.
In This Article, you are going to come across the different measures to change your sim IVR language.
All you will need to perform this change is your mobile phone, at least 50 naira airtime, and the affected sim card. Now there are two ways of performing this change, the first one is through the Sim toolkit app in your phone and the second method is for sim cards that do not support the Sim toolkit.
Incase you have no idea about the sim toolkit, the toolkit consists of supportive and easy to do navigations for a better performance on your sim. It also consists of your sim details like your phone number, sim registration details and others.
