History
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.
