Previously, Africell customers struggled with limited access to Africell services irrespective of Africell’s reliable call and fast internet network in remote areas. This partnership has made both airtime and data bundle top-ups easier for Africell customers since MTN Uganda has the broadest exposure of mobile money agents across Uganda. This article will explore methods to guide you through the steps of buying Africell airtime and internet bundles using MTN Uganda.
