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 Lycamobile Uganda SIM Card to enjoy their low call and data data rates.
The UK based telecom announced its entry into the Ugandan market at an event at Sheraton Hotel in Kampala. Unlike in other countries where it operates as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), in Uganda, it runs full Mobile network operations after they acquired Tangerine Uganda and all its assets last year.
