Uganda has around 35 million mobile subscriptions, dominated by MTN Uganda (market leader) and Airtel Uganda in a duopoly, with smaller players like Lycamobile and Africell. Prepaid plans dominate, and USSD is the central channel for daily recharge, data bundle subscriptions, and mobile money transactions via MTN MoMo and Airtel Money — playing a critical role in areas with limited banking access.
