During this period, new Vodafone Uganda customers that purchase a monthly unlimited plan will also receive one of Vodafone’s 4G LTE data devices for FREE.
“We have listened to the consumer,” said Jackie Namara, Head of Marketing at Vodafone Uganda.
“Customers say the entry price for mobile devices is too high and we have lowered it. They have requested for the option to pay a fixed daily, weekly or monthly price for data without worrying about running out of bundles and we have introduced the Unlimited Plan.”

Jackie further commented that, “We have not forgotten those users that want to keep using data bundles. They say it is unfair to lose data they’ve already paid for. This is why we are giving customers who purchase any of our monthly bundles starting from only UGX19,900 the option to carry-forward unused data.”
According to Tage Rasmussen, the acting CEO, Vodafone Uganda, “Vodafone services are designed for individual users, small-to-medium businesses, as well as large organizations that desire reliable and fast connections that are well priced.”
“Our offers are in line with the Vodafone promise of delivering worry-free solutions to our customers,” said Tage, the acting CEO.
Vodafone Uganda’s 4G network operates in the 2.6 GHz range, delivering high capacity and reduced network congestion.
In addition, the network technology adopted by Vodafone Uganda is able to optimize data downloads, giving a better and more reliable Internet experience for customers using data-intensive services like video streaming.
Vodafone Uganda joined the Vodafone family in 2014, deploying the latest wireless broadband technology to enable businesses, households and individuals to access high-speed internet services wherever they are. Our vision is to empower everybody to be confidently connected.
