How it works

Terminating calls to Uganda

Calls to Uganda (+256) are priced by each route's own rate sheet, by the longest matching prefix of the number, the same way the call is billed. Across the 13 routes live today the lowest rates per minute are mobile from $0.2154 (12 routes) and country-wide rate from $0.160 (12 routes). The country-wide rate is what a route charges for a number it has no more specific row for.

Mobile rates are broken out by operator, so the network you reach sets the price: Airtel from $0.2154, K2 Telecom Limited from $0.2154, Ugatel from $0.2783, Africell from $0.2856 and Smile from $0.2901. Enter a full number in the box above to see what every route charges for it.

On caller ID, 12 routes state Full CLI and 1 No CLI. On billing, 12 routes bill per second (1/1), the rest per minute (60/60). 1 route state an answer-seizure ratio. The figures here are the sellers' own; on the marketplace a listing that has carried enough real calls also shows its measured ASR, ACD and NER.

Questions

Calling Uganda: common questions

How much does it cost to call Uganda?
From $0.160 per minute on the marketplace right now: mobile from $0.2154 and country-wide rate from $0.160. The rate depends on the number you call, so price the exact number to see every route's rate for it. PacketExchange adds one fee: 2% of the rate via the API or Dialer, or 0.5% over your own SIP trunk, never more than $0.001 per call.
Which caller ID options are there for calls to Uganda?
Full CLI on 12 routes (the caller's real number passes through intact) and No CLI on 1 route (the caller's number is stripped or replaced). Caller-ID handling is the seller's declaration for the route; you can check it on a real handset with a caller-ID test: $0.25 a test, refunded if the route does not ring, plus the call's minutes at the route rate if it connects.
How are calls to Uganda billed?
12 routes bill per second (1/1), the rest per minute (60/60). Billing is prepaid: you top up a balance from $5 by card or crypto, or $100 by bank wire, and each call draws on it. There is no monthly fee or minimum.
Who carries the calls?
Carriers who list routes on the PacketExchange marketplace. Sellers stay anonymous and the exchange settles every call itself, so you compare routes on price, caller ID, billing increment and the quality each seller states, and buy from the exchange.
Can I sell voice termination to Uganda on PacketExchange?
Yes. Carriers with their own voice routes to Uganda list them on the marketplace for free: upload the rate sheet you already have, set your own rate, and keep it in full, credited as each call completes. Buyers see the route, its price and its terms, never who listed it.
How do I start sending calls to Uganda?
Create an account, top up from $5, connect a route to Uganda from the marketplace, then place calls with POST /api/v1/comms/calls or send them over your own SIP trunk. Connecting a route has no setup fee: you pay per minute from your balance.
