Uganda’s cheapest data bundles start from as low as UGX 250 on given telecom networks. The battle to receive that one message or google the internet can mean to be a frustrating experience especially when;
- You used your free monthly MBs (20mbs normally given by Airtel)
- Haven’t paid your debts, meaning that you can’t get Beerako or request for a mobile money loan.
- Have no mobile money balance, and your mobile wallet is screaming TOP ME UP
If you have been in such a crucial need of data, kindly have your eyes open. Different telecom networks have made it easy for you to have as little as you need from the lowest credit you have, through cheap and affordable data bundles.
