In this modern era, being able to be fully connected to the internet and having your phone fully charged is almost a primary need!

Ask anyone who holds a phone and their biggest fear is running out of battery on any given day. In addition, the need to be ‘connected’ is important to keep up with communication with business, friends and family.

Due to this, many had to move around with two important devices, a Mi-Fi and a power bank. However, thanks to MTN Uganda, the days of walking around with two bulky gadgets will now come to an end with the introduction of a two-in-one Mi-Fi.

“As part of our twentieth anniversary celebrations, we are giving Ugandans a perfect gift for their communication needs in the form of an exciting new device” said MTN Uganda’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Olivier Prentout.

He continued: “Our customers will now be able to stay connected to the best 4G Internet while keeping their phones powered up throughout the day thanks to the never seen before MTN 2-in-1 Mi-Fi and Powerbank.”

The device will enable users to keep up to date with all the online action, news as well as be connected with their work. According to MTN Uganda, the product is as a result of feedback from customers who complained about carrying bulky power banks and Mi-Fis separately, sometimes making their pockets and bags heavy.

The following are the key features of the MTN 2-in-1 Mi-Fi and Powerbank:

4G compatibility

Can pick 2G and 3G MTN networks as well

1.5-inch display

Can connect up to 10 users

5,000 mAh battery

LTE compatible

The MTN 2-in-1 Mi-Fi and Powerbank can fully charge a smart phone (as a power-bank) more than twice, making the device a must have for smartphone device owners, individuals working on the move or remotely, students and firms or start-ups that work in small groups or in close proximity who jointly need internet connectivity.

The device, which retails at only UGX 189,000 and comes packed with 3GB valid for 30 days, is now readily available at all MTN shops, Banana Shops, partner dealer shops and on Jumia online shopping website (www.jumia.ug). Major phone shops will also stock the devices.
