MTN Uganda provides mobile and fixed telecommunications, mobile financial services and data services.

MTN Uganda has a market share of 52.7% and 9.9 million customers as of 30 June 2016.  Its subscription base increased by 10.8% in the first six months of the year, following a 14.1% decline in 2015 (partly brought on by the disconnection of 3.7 million subscribers who did not comply with registration requirements).
