Their recent service, UGANDA TOP UP received good reception in the Ugandan community and one of their customers had this to say, “UTL airtime is not found upcountry so my parents have been finding it difficult to buy UTL airtime. With this service I will be buying them UTL airtime using my Airtel or MTN mobile money.”

According to this article, whereas mobile operators in Kenya are only just exploring cross net mobile money transfers locally, Uganda’s GLICTS EA is offering customers both cross net airtime/border airtime transfers locally and globally to over 100 countries!

To send airtime to all networks in Uganda, the customer will dial *210*10# on Uganda mobile phone and select ‘Uganda Top Up’ option. Then enter recipient’s mobile number and select top up amount. Standard mobile money and ussd charges apply.
