From $0.26 per code on Uganda numbers at the last update
Before you buy a Uganda number
- Typing the number into the app
- When the app you are signing up to asks for your phone number, pick Uganda (+256) as the country, then type the rest of the number we give you: the 9 digits after +256.
- Where you connect from
- Many apps will not send a code when your connection looks like it comes from another country. If yours does not arrive, connect through a Uganda VPN server and ask for the code again.
- Where codes arrive reliably
- Delivery is rated high here, at a lower price than in most countries, for Badoo ($0.28), Shopee ($0.36) and Yahoo ($0.30).
- If the country does not matter
- WhatsApp is $0.63 on a Madagascar number instead of $1.42 here; Telegram is $0.63 on a Seychelles number instead of $1.75 here.
