As Uganda’s premier provider of fixed line, mobile, and internet services, UTCL continues the legacy of the country’s first telecommunications operator, evolving from the East African Post & Telecom Corporation of the 1970s and the Uganda Post & Telecom Corporation of the 1980s and 1990s.

With the largest fixed line and ISP network in Uganda, UTCL offers a wide range of voice and data communication services, including fixed telephony, mobile telephony, ISP, and data services.
