ADDIS ABABA: Recently, Airtel Uganda added Jordan and a number of African countries to its “One Network" roaming plan for customers. On Monday, the company announced it had added a number of other countries to its offerings, in the hopes that users with the company will continue to make voice calls while traveling. The new countries include India and Southeast Asia and is expected to help the company push forward on attracting business minded users to its network. The idea is that users will not be forced to purchase a local line while they travel abroad and can maintain their Uganda service even while abroad at a lower roaming fee. “The One Network profile allows customers to communicate at local rates, receive calls for free and recharge partner airtime vouchers when they travel to other Airtel countries in Africa. It now also offers free incoming calls in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh," said Airtel Uganda in announcing the addition of India and Southeast Asia. With both smartphone and penetration on the rise in Uganda, experts believe that Airtel is moving forward with positive offerings and services to its user base that will likely keep customers pleased with what they receive from Airtel Uganda.
