With the never-ending data wars in Uganda, telecoms are finding ways to remain relevant and also in business. Today, Smile communications has introduced its new SmileChakala data bundles where it promises it’s customers to spend less ‘mula’ for more data in order to do all the surfing they need while having fun with their family and friends.
The new Chakala60 bundle will cost UGX 100,000 you will be able to get 60 GB and you will be able to use for 30GB day and 30GB night with speeds up to 21 Mbps depending on coverage and capacity. For those interested in the daily bundle dubbed ChakalaDaily, you will pay UGX 5,000 for a total of 2GB, but you can only use 1GB day and 1GB night. We believe they have split the data usage between night and day in order not to congest their growing 4G-LTE network.
| SmileChakala | Data | Validity | Price(UGX) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChakalaDaily (up to 4Mbps) | 2GB | 24 hours | 5000 |
| Chakala60 (up to 21Mbps | 60GB | 30 days | 100000 |
If this bundles have enticed you, it should be good to read the fine print, as night data can be used from Midnight to 6AM and this also applies to the 1GB per night data. To keep users locked in, when you recharge with ChakalaDaily for two consecutive days, you will get 1GB free data to use at anytime valid for 24 hours.
