The Airtel Kwata Essimu initiative will increase connectivity to individuals, micro, small and medium enterprises across the country by solving one of the biggest problems in Uganda and that is the ability to afford a smartphone. Kwata Essimu slogan means ‘have a phone’ in English which fits perfectly with this new effort that focuses on making sure every Ugandan can afford and have a smartphone.

Even when internet rates go down, smartphone prices rarely ever go down leaving out the groups of people who cannot afford.

Since the initiative aims at creating affordability in partnership with Samsung, a few Samsung smartphones will be made available for customers to access through loans which are; Samsung A01, A3 Core and A11. These particular smartphones can be bought at Airtel customer service centres and given at loans with the customer paying some money upfront. Another great discount is that they come with 500 MB loaded and customers will be eligible for 100% bonus on daily, weekly, and monthly data bundles loaded.

Airtel Kwata Essimu comes with flexible payment plans

Manoj Murali, the Managing Director at Airtel Uganda revealed that this would facilitate high purchasing speeds of Samsung phones at lower costs while giving customers the opportunity to distribute the payments over time.

Device model	A3 Core	A01	A11
Initial instalment	UGX 152,550	UGX 173,550	UGX 243,550
Monthly instalment	UGX 48,000	UGX 54,000	UGX 72,000
Weekly instalment	UGX 11,200	UGX 12,600	UGX 16,800
Daily instalment	UGX 1,600	UGX 1,800	UGX 2,400
Payment period	12 months	12 months	12 months

The smartphone credit financing services provided through the Airtel Kwata Essimu will be the ability to pay a certain amount of money upfront when an Airtel customer tries to buy any of the eligible smartphones. The customer can then pay up the rest of the amount over a certain period of time as set by the telecommunications company.

Customers will choose a loan repayment plan of their choice which can be 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or even 12 months. You can dial *284*49# to check whether you are eligible for the Kwata Essimu offer.

The event was attended by bosses from other telecommunication companies and several VIPs like UCC Boss Engineer Irene Kaggwa. The Minister for ICT and National Guidance Judith Nabakooba was also in attendance and made some notable remarks.

The Minister said that the number of internet subscribers has grown since 2019 from 26.7 million subscribers to 28.4 million subscribers by the end of March 2020. She said, “This translates into a total growth of 1 million subscribers and a quarter to quarter growth of 7%.”

Despite the government’s investment in the National Backbone Infrastructure as a means to lower the cost of internet for the average Ugandan, the cost of smartphones still hinders many people today from accessing the internet. She commended initiatives like the Airtel ‘kwata essimu’ for making efforts to see that access to smartphones is increased while creating affordable rates for users.
