In a bid to beat UCC directive of having all Ugandan based network subscribers SIM Cards / lines registered before April 20th 2017, different service providers including Uganda Telecom aka Mango / UTL have tried their best to ease the process of ensuring that all subscribe lines are full registered or updated with owners national identity card data aka NIN Numbers, with the latest being instant Whatsapp SIM Card registration.
