{UAH} South Sudan joins East Africa's one network phone system - Sudan Tribune: Plural news and views on Sudan

Mobile phone subscribers in South Sudan can now use their local sim cards in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda without acquiring new cards, an official said.

"You don't need to remove your local card when you are visiting Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda", said the telecommunications minister, Rebecca Joshua Okwaci.

"Today from here you can call Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda using your local sim card and you will be paying the same cost that you are paying when you are in Juba. The one network area is now operational between South Sudan and the three East African countries", she added.
