On March 5, 2012, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) launched a simcard registration exercise see my coverage at http://wp.me/pXn3W-4H. On February 28, 2013, all un-registered simcards will be switched off by the telecom providers so there is a concerted push to register the simcards. Estimates put registration at about 50%, but that number is to be put to the test at the end of the month. This simple guide is to enable you to check for your registration (operators in alphabetical order) UPDATE: I have just been informed that dialing *197# can be used to check the registration status for any simcard (Thanks to alwangac via I-Network) Did I miss anything or did this post help you, let me know This post by Stephen Musoke Senkomago from  http://ssmusoke.wordpress.com has been re-posted with permission
