This page connects featured cities in Eastern Region with their published or clearly qualified telephone numbering associations.
“Largest” refers to the priority city set used by this directory. It is not a live population ranking.

Use trunk prefix 0 in the domestic format and remove it after +256. For example, 041 becomes +256 41. Uganda's domestic international-access prefix is 000, but the plus format is clearer for stored contacts and calls placed from abroad.

Treat these city-code relationships as legacy UCC fixed-network associations. The current national plan identifies fixed-service ranges primarily by provider, not by a complete current geographic map, and it does not re-confirm each 2002 locality assignment. Other fixed networks use different leading ranges, and wireless or internet-based numbers are not geographic. A prefix cannot prove a caller's identity, carrier or present location.
A code listed beside a city reflects a featured numbering association; it does not assert that every community in Eastern Region uses that code or that the code stops at the administrative border.
This release includes 2 verified or clearly qualified code associations for the featured cities in Eastern Region.
