in Uganda.
“MTN Uganda is currently the leading network for smart phones and this
new exciting campaign underpins this claim. As we tend to the festive season, we
want to give back to you our subscribers by offering affordable high quality
smartphones to improve your experience.” she previously said.
“According to
statistics smart phone entry devices now contribute 64 percent to total sales
in theUgandan market and this is highly attributed to the aggressive sale of
affordable smartphones like the Avvio. MTN has the widest, most stable network for
any smartphone,” she added.
In this promotion the
phones being promoted which include the ‘Avvio 793’and the
‘Avvio 781’give users an upgraded data
experience. The youth, who use data in a more exciting manner can upgrade from
