Smile 4G LTE Routers and Prices in Uganda

Smile 4G LTE routers are probably not as popular as MTN, Airtel, and Africell routers, but greatly offer transfer speeds and prices that perfectly catch an eye.

Given the fact that Smile Communications is a voice + data provider with marginal offerings in Uganda, the telco’s wide network coverage across the country makes it a reliable choice for internet usage.

By internet speeds, Smile 4G LTE routers transmit data packages based on available network bands in an area. All routers support 2G/3G and 4G LTE connectivity that can be set depending on your data usage behavior.

Mobile WiFi (MiFi) is a starter router designed for home and mobile usage on the go. A Smile MIFI supports upto 10 simultaneously connected devices at the same time. In a like manner, the device equips a 3000mAh battery that supports connectivity with an average uptime of 10 hours.

On the other hand, a Smile Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) router is an upgraded variant that supports better network connectivity and multiple users that can be served with over 5 active hotspots hosted on the single CPE router.

As a customer welcome package, all Smile 4G LTE routers come with preloaded data and voice packages. A starter Smile MIFI comes with free 15GB of data for 3months + free unlimited calls for 1 month.

Then, the Smile CPE router comes with free 30GB valid for 1 month + unlimited calls + 10GB monthly for the first 6 months upon top-up of 25GB or more. Nonetheless, below are the features of Smile 4G LTE routers and their prices in Uganda.
