As a startup there is always not enough money for most things like the most needed internet but this offer from Airtel makes it easier on the finances. Cheap internet helps Tech Startups spend less money. With the above I think this offer will be welcomed by many including but not limited to Tech Startups, Bloggers,  Developers and Innovators.

This promotion begun yesterday 14th-Feb-2013 and is to run for 90 days (3 months) which gives Techies enough time to enjoy it and save on money. It does not cater for the daily 60MB subscriptions of 500 Ugx, 2000 Ugx for 200MB

One thought on “Airtel Uganda launches 50% data bonus promo

  1. This is an interesting offer especially for developers. I don’t know what I would with 1GB data for a day. I would prefer it stretched over a month or week.
    I will wander though how much traffic( or speeds) they can handle if a big percentage of their clients decided to use 1Gb a day.
