way cheaper than roaming.. fast 5G in Uganda Civic Center
downloaded the profile over home wifi before leaving, instructions were super clear. Way faster in Uganda Civic Center than the pocket wifi we rented last year. worked exactly as advertised, zero complaints
★★★★☆
Uganda 여행용으로 가성비 좋고 로밍보다 훨씬 저렴해요
기존 유심 뺄 필요 없이 휴대폰 설정에서 바로 추가할 수 있어서 좋았습니다. Uganda Civic Center 중심가부터 Uganda Commercial Expressway 이동할 때까지 Airtel 속도가 빨라서 영상통화도 잘 됐어요. Uganda Historic Quarter 외곽 도로에서 잠깐 4G LTE로 바뀌긴 했지만 전체적으로 아주 안정적이었습니다.
★★★★★
skipped the sim line at UG Customs and Arrival Hall, super easy
Speeds on Airtel were fast enough for facetime and video calls from Uganda Civic Center with zero lag. honestly the smoothest travel data setup ive used in Uganda
