If you make regular calls to Africa you’ll already know that it can be a very expensive business. But with the Planet Numbers international calls service, you can cut your calling costs substantially. Calls to Uganda landlines still cost 45p a minute, even with our massively discounted service, but if you’re calling a Ugandan mobile you’ll only pay 45p a minute. Both have a 5p initial connection charge. The good news is you can call Uganda from your mobile or your landline and you can make these huge savings all day every day with no time limits.
