Lycamobile Uganda did a pre-launch of their services in January this year and it seems their services are ready for prime-time. You can now easily get a SIM Card to enjoy their low call and data rates. The company currently operates in over 24 countries worldwide and offers attractive packages offering 100 international call minutes for UGX 45k in addition to the 100 GB of data.
When it comes to making international calls, Lycamobile Uganda works in the same way as other mobiles or landlines. Simply dial 00 followed by the country code you are calling (e.g. 40 for Romania), then the area code without the first 0 (except Italian landlines where the first 0 is kept) and then the phone number and press the call button. Instead of 00 you can also use a + (e.g. +40).

For example, if you were calling Romania from Switzerland you would dial 0040377 881276 (an example is Lycamobile Uganda Customer Services). Please note that most premium voice and text services in other countries cannot be reached from a mobile phone service when calling from outside that country.
