The new 079 prefix now joins MTN’s existing family of number ranges, reinforcing MTN Uganda’s commitment to providing seamless and accessible communication services for all Ugandans.

Effective immediately, new customers can acquire MTN numbers within the 0790000000 to 0790999999 range, ensuring they can enjoy the full suite of MTN’s telecom and financial services.

  • Unmatched network coverage across the country
  • Innovative and affordable products and services tailored for everyday needs
  • Exclusive loyalty programs like MTN Prestige for high-value customers and MTN Senkyu for rewarding loyal users
  • Seamless financial solutions through MoMo by MTN, including Pay with MoMo, Market by MoMo, and Wesotinge, providing convenient access to savings, loans, and digital payments

MTN Uganda continues to uphold its promise of delivering reliable, affordable, and innovative solutions that empower its customers to stay connected and financially included.

MTN Uganda’s number ranges now include:

  • 077
  • 078
  • 031
  • 039
  • 076
  • 079 (latest)
