    MTN Uganda Roaming: A list of countries where you can stay connected while abroad

    Roaming is a service that allows frequent travelers stay connected to their home network without removing their SIM cards. However, this service has been tainted with the “bad image” of being expensive. Well, yes it is but it all depends on the places you travel.

    With the advent of the East African community block’s One Network Area that included six East Africa member states viz; Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, TZ and South Sudan who signed multilateral agreements. These agreements made mobile communication easier in the region to allow people make calls at the same rate as a local call. All telecom companies within the region had to scarp roaming fees for their subscribers traveling within these countries.

    But, this doesn’t apply out of East Africa as for International roaming you have to pay the hefty price on each minute or for each mb you use to surf the internet. This service is automatically activated upon crossing into any one of the MTN network partner global territories, as long as you have been pre-approved for roaming services activation before traveling. When you switch on your phone, an approved network will be automatically selected.

    If this does not happen automatically, choose to search manually on your phone by selecting ‘settings’, then ‘phone settings’ followed by ‘network selection’, then ‘manual selection’. Remember you are even charged for receiving a call.

    Below is a list of all the 134 countries and price where MTN Uganda has International roaming partner agreements. In most countries, MTN offers roaming with more than one partner.
