What You Need to Know About Uganda Network
Network Coverage
Urban area
• The coverage of 4G networks in major cities remains stable.
- Kampala, Entebbe: Stable 4G network coverage in urban areas and the airport, enabling smooth video calls and online activities.
- Mbarara and Jinja: Commercial areas and transport hubs have good network coverage, meeting daily usage needs.
- Masaka and Soroti: Major urban areas provide 3G/4G services with good network quality.
Tourist attractions and suburbs
• Most areas have basic network coverage.
- Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi National Park: The visitor centers and main roads have 3G coverage, but the signal weakens when venturing deeper into the scenic areas.
- Lake Victoria region: Stable signals in coastal towns, weaker signals in offshore areas and small islands.
- Jinja: The tourism network around the White Nile is stable, but coverage in some remote villages is limited.
Network Usage Tips
remote mountainous areas/national parks
When venturing into national parks or remote mountainous areas (such as the Rwenzori Mountains), signal interruptions may occur. It is advisable to download offline maps and itinerary information in advance.
Network standard
Uganda primarily uses the GSM standard. Chinese mobile phones can be used by installing a local SIM card, but it is necessary to confirm that the phone supports the relevant frequency bands.
5G construction status
Uganda's 5G network is still under construction, with the country currently relying primarily on 4G networks, and some areas may only offer 3G services.
Price evaluation
Mobile network tariffs in Uganda are relatively high. Due to limited network coverage in remote areas, it is advisable to choose an appropriate data plan based on your itinerary to avoid excessive data consumption in areas with weak signals.
