I'm really glad to see the work u've done, actually it's my first time to see a wide range of points of coverage relating in uganda. I'm an orange internet user, I bought there modem n using there 1gb plan. Mainly, the reason I have contacted you, is to know wheather if I buy warid sim card only n use smartlink for 1 month unlimited as they say, would I be able to connect my fone(Sony Ericsson W995, has wifi also) to the computer n start using normal internet, my main target is skype since I am living away from my family n always love to talk to my mother. And also if you can help wheather it is possible to install skype on my fone(w995), I have tried myself many times to do the same but failed, it only supports text version and no voice calls. Please help. Thanks and Regards, Shariq Hi there!!

I'm a Canadian from Vancouver working for BRAC in Kampala. I've got an unlocked Huawei 3G modem that I use with an MTN card. I typically get just less than 30kbps download, 10 upload. When I read on your blog about Orange's 3G service I decided to switch. I've since checked the coverage map. I'm in Zana about five km south of downtown Kampala and the service here is EDGE. Do you know whether I can expect consistently faster connections with EDGE on Orange? My monthly renewal date is the 4th so I'm trying to see whether to make a change. I'm OK with paying three months. I do need to make a call to find out whether Orange on Kampala Rd. has the data SIM cards in stock. Thanks for any help. And take care in Congo. Lorne Hi Melissa,
