The history behind Ugandan phone numbers
Uganda's phone number history can be traced back to the 1990s when the government-owned Uganda Posts and Telecommunications Company (UPTC) was the sole provider of telecommunications services in the country. At that time, phone services were limited, and only a few privileged individuals and businesses had access to telephone lines.
In 1998, the Ugandan government decided to liberalize the telecommunications sector, allowing private companies to enter the market and compete with UPTC. This move led to the establishment of several telecommunications companies, including MTN Uganda, Airtel Uganda, and Uganda Telecom, which offered mobile and fixed-line phone services to the public.
With the entry of these companies, Uganda's phone number system evolved to accommodate the growing demand for phone services. The country adopted the international format of phone numbering, which comprises the country code, area code, and subscriber number.
Today, Uganda's phone number system is managed by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), which regulates the telecommunications industry and assigns phone numbers to telecommunications companies. The country code for Uganda is +256, and the area codes are three digits. Mobile phone numbers in Uganda usually start with 07, while landline numbers start with 04.
In recent years, Uganda's telecommunications sector has experienced rapid growth, with more Ugandans owning mobile phones than ever before. This growth has been driven by factors such as increased competition, improved infrastructure, and falling prices of mobile devices and services.
