Lycamobile is another new kid on the block, as a new telecom company offering unmatched internet data bundles for its customers. The telecom, which opened its doors in Uganda in early 2019, has been acquiring users at a fast scale like no other network.
In this article, we decided to bring you a full list of Lycamobile USSD shortcodes that’ll help you buy internet bundles, check data balances, and pay for OTT, among other things.
USSD shortcodes allow telecom customers in Uganda to access telecom services such as airtime top-ups, balance inquiries, buying data, sending airtime, paying OTT tax, and many other things. UCC which is Uganda’s institution that regulates telecom companies has been pushing for the standardizing of some USSD codes which is evident with the check data balance shortcode which is now standard.
