MTN Uganda has recently secured a fresh numbering range from the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), bolstering its capacity to meet the ever-increasing demand for connectivity across the nation. The newly assigned 079 prefix, previously allocated to Africell Uganda—a telecom operator that exited the market in 2021 after acquiring Orange Uganda in 2014—now integrates into MTN’s robust lineup of number ranges. This move underscores MTN Uganda’s dedication to delivering dependable and widely accessible telecom services to its growing customer base.
Starting immediately, new subscribers can opt for MTN Uganda numbers within the 0790000000 to 0790999999 spectrum, unlocking access to MTN’s comprehensive telecommunications and financial offerings. Existing customers need not worry, as their current numbers remain unaffected, and they will continue to enjoy the top-tier service synonymous with Uganda’s leading telecom brand.
The inclusion of the 079 range solidifies MTN Uganda’s standing as the country’s premier and most dependable telecommunications provider. This expansion paves the way for more Ugandans to tap into a host of benefits, including:
- Exceptional network reach spanning urban and rural areas alike
- Cutting-edge, budget-friendly solutions designed to meet daily communication and financial needs
- Rewarding programs such as MTN Prestige for top-tier clients and MTN Senkyu for loyal users
- Streamlined financial tools via MoMo by MTN, featuring options like Pay with MoMo, Market by MoMo, and Wesotinge for savings, loans, and digital transactions
