KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA (http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Uganda is the most recent and new market for Lycamobile, the UK-based, mobile virtual network operator with 15 million customers in 23 countries.

They have nationwide security. As for the mobile virtual network, they follow the existing nationwide infrastructure to serve their customers. 

Notably, Lycamobile acquired Tangerine, another virtual mobile operator that has been in operation for over 4 years.

Lycamobile Uganda now has a full product portfolio that offers cheap data bundles. Recently, the company added on full prepaid call and SMS charges to its products and categorizing its bundles into monthly, weekly or daily offerings.

OTT will be included in all bundles costing UGX 25,000 (now at UGX 30,000) and above at no extra charge.

The company plans to have a nationwide network that extends to Elegu, Kabale, Muthukula and Busia. 

According to insiders from Lycamobile says, the new telecommunications company still resolves problems of compliance under the new licensing framework required by UCC, prior to commercial launch.

However, that doesn’t stop them from trying their services.

How to buy Lycamobile data in Uganda?

You can now purchase Lycamobile Uganda data using MTN Mobile Money or PayWay (explained later).

MTN Uganda has unveiled a unique feature that provides additional airtime and data bundles from any mobile money agent nationwide to any Lycamobile or Africell customers.

  1. A Lycamobile or Africell customer visits any MTN Mobile Money outlet and requests for service (load airtime or purchase data or social media bundle)
  2. An agent from MTN Mobile Mobile will ask, Africell/Lycamobile customer to share or confirm their number.
  3. The customer of Africell or Lycamobile will pay in cash the airtime or bundle to the MTN Mobile Money Agent. 
  4. The MTN mobile money agent will start with the customer and confirm (the number and bundle or airtime they purchased).
  5. The transaction is now finalized.
