Lycamobile

Lycamobile Uganda, operating as Lycamobile Network Services Uganda Limited, is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) providing telecommunications services across Uganda, Africa. Utilizing the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 641, which identifies Uganda, and the Mobile Network Code (MNC) 26, Lycamobile offers a range of services, often focusing on affordable international calling rates. As an MVNO, Lycamobile doesn't own its own network infrastructure but instead leverages the network of an existing mobile network operator within Uganda to deliver its services to subscribers, allowing them to quickly enter the market and focus on value-added services and competitive pricing strategies, which allows them to focus more on international calling rates, which is advantageous for travelers, and people who may have business partners abroad. Compared to established Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in Uganda which utilise their own physical network masts, Lycamobile carves out a niche by targeting specific customer segments with tailored plans. The Ugandan telecommunications landscape is competitive, with other major players like MTN Uganda and Airtel Uganda offering comprehensive mobile services across the country. Lycamobile distinguishes itself with innovative offers, particularly beneficial for the diaspora and individuals frequently making international calls. The affordability and accessibility of Lycamobile contribute to increased mobile penetration and connectivity within Uganda.
