In short
Several mobile phone users in Kampala have called for Government to extend the deadline for simcard registration to one month instead of seven days. Last week, Government through the Uganda Communications Commission UCC gave phone users seven days to verify their simcard registration using the national identity card or else the phones would be switched off.
