Legacy UCC fixed-line association for Mbale, Tororo, Busia, Soroti, Moroto and nearby eastern localities. This guide separates the geographic code or numbering range from country calling code +256 and explains domestic and international formats.
UCC's 2002 table assigns 45 to the Mbale-Central exchange group, including several separate towns. It is not a precise present-location indicator.
This schematic summarizes the published numbering association without inventing precise geographic boundaries.

Where a code spans several zones, confirm the destination city before calling.
UCC published a detailed fixed-line locality table in 2002, with codes such as 41 for Kampala, 43 for Jinja and 45 for Mbale. A 2005 numbering change standardized national significant numbers at nine digits by lengthening the subscriber part; the 4Y or 4YY geographic identifiers remained embedded in the number. The current plan communicated in July 2026 lists 4 as an operational fixed-telephony allocation for Uganda Telecommunications Corporation Limited but does not republish the old locality breakdown.

Administrative units and telephone zones are different entity types; the list reflects featured city associations only.
The directory includes verified or clearly qualified city associations and does not claim exhaustive coverage.
Current operator and market-share data are dynamic. This page avoids assigning a specific number to a carrier from its area code alone.
Area code 045 is presented as legacy published fixed-line geographic code. Consult Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) for current allocation or licensing information.
Wireless numbers commonly use separate ranges. Number portability prevents reliable current-carrier identification from a prefix alone.
A number beginning +256 45 matches this numbering pattern. Keep the remaining subscriber digits intact. This directory does not perform reverse lookup or identify a private subscriber.
