it has been in place for ages. You just pay a very big entry fee, and then you are 'postpaid'

However, in UG, one of the fastest selling airtime cards for Pay as you go is the Ushs 1000 and am yet to get feed back on the newly introduced Ushs 500 airtime voucher. Why? Because piecemeal spending is more appropriate for us here as opposed to "hard to forecast" bills. > > Wire > > On Tue, 2008-05-13 at 17:41 -0400, Sanga M.

I hated having to scour the hills of munyonyo looking for friggin airtime just so I could make a phone call. Plus all the drama in Kenya made airtime scarce in in those little shops by speke resort.

So there are no monthly contracts in UG, everything is pay as you go? There are some pluses about pay as you go, but then it makes it harder to sell extra services that would make owning a smart phone worth while. Are there any data pay as you go plans? > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > LUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug > %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ > > The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
