SMILE Communications unveils a new package for customers switching from Africell

Smile has launched the “Switch to Smile” campaign for Africell subscribers to help them transition to the SuperFast and high-quality 4G LTE internet services from Smile. Smile, the pioneer 4G LTE broadband services in Uganda, deemed it fit to offer a soft landing for all the Africell subscribers following the announcement that Africell would be exiting the Uganda market come 7th October 2021.

Customers desirous of benefiting from the switch to Smile offer must present their working Africell MiFi and SIM card, which will be swapped for a new FREE Smile MiFi device.
