Previous title: Uganda switches off 2.5 million unregistered SIM-cards
UPDATE: Confusion looms over SIM card disconnection as many unregistered cards are reported to be currently functioning. I called the Orange customer care number and I was told that the SIM cards were disconnected. However, reports from friends and social media indicate that MTN and Warid/Airtel unregistered SIM cards are fully functional. Attempts to reach Uganda communications commission have proven futile.
