MTN Uganda’s subscriber base has hit 9.5 million, an 8.4 increase fo the quarter ending 31 March in what the firms says is due to attractive bundled offers aimed at both acquisition and retention.

The MTN Group Results recently released in Johannesburg South Africa also shows that Local currency data revenue increased by 67.7 % and now contributes to 23.5 % of MTN’s revenue. At MTN Group level, subscriber base has shot up to 210, 1 million subscribers up from 207.8 million subscribers registered at the year ending 31st December 2013

According to the results, MTN Uganda continued to show good growth and increased market share despite the high competition in Ugandan market. Increased penetration into rural areas and improved network quality further supported this growth.

Announcing the quarterly Group update, the MTN Group President and CEO, Sifiso Dabengwa said;

“MTN delivered a satisfactory performance in the 1st during the first quarter of 2014, underpinned by strong data growth, competitive offerings and improved network quality and coverage. Our operating environment remains tough with persistent price competition and regulatory challenges in key markets. Subscriber numbers grew marginally by 1.1% quarter on quarter from December 2013. This was mainly due to ban on the sale of SIM cards in Nigeria during March, the disconnection of non-revenue generating subscribers in South Africa and slower subscriber growth in Iran”

He added: “Data and Mobile Money remain key areas of focus for the group as traditional voice revenue and a 12% increase in Mobile Money subscribers. Cost containment and the execution of our infrastructure sharing strategy particularly in South Africa continues to make good progress”
