Smile Communication is further spicing up it’s TrueUnlimited data bundle and has now introduced a weekly variant of the same bundle. The real definition of TrueUnlimited internet is tricky for most to explain as carriers or telecom companies seem to have their own definition of unlimited internet from what customers expect.
The 4G-LTE provider recently introduced this the first ever TRUEUnlimited mobile internet service in Uganda which expired monthly, with NO Data Limit. The new bundle means you can use the internet bundle and you won’t capped with the amount of data you use for your weekly subscription, but instead you will be capped on the speed. Companies like Africell already have this kind of TRUEunlimited data bundle since 2014 but it is only limited by its 512 kbps maximum speeds.
Smile telecom’s weekly TRUEUnlimited 4G LTE will also offer speeds up to 3 Mbps shared at a cost of UGX 63,000 . This means you will utilize speeds between 0- 3 Mbps depending usage, signal quality, location etc in short you must abide with their Fair Usage Policy (FUP). Smile’s new TRUEUnlimited data bundle is the perfect YouTube, Netflix or Music streaming data bundle for those who can afford it, as it ensure no cap on the amount of data used.
How Smile’s TRUEunlimited Monthly Vs Weekly bundles
| TRUEUnlimited | TRUEUnlimited- Weekly | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (UGX) | 224,000 | 63,000 |
| Speed | Up to 3Mbps | Up to 3Mbps |
| Validity | 30 Days | 7 days |
All telecom companies offer great unlimited internet packages, except that for the fact that all offered packages are capped with the amount of data you can consumer — and this is what Smile’s new TRUEunlimited has come to disrupt. For instance, some of the service providers control your usage rate with daily caps while some have a single joint cap and once it’s met you package slows down with tortoise traces. We shall soon use Smile’s TRUEunlimited weekly package soon and give feedback.
But is Smile’s new weekly TRUEUnlimited data bundle truly unlimited? Yes and No. It a great bundle for those who will be able to afford it, I would be glad to try it out assuming I can be assured of the 3 Mbps (best effort or shared) speeds all the time which will most likely not be the case.
