The Airtel TV app, which is available on Android and iOS, is subscription-free and offers registered users unlimited access to live TV, news and the entire Airtel TV content library.
Speaking about the Airtel TV bundles, Airtel Uganda’s Chief Commercial Officer, Amit Kapur said; “We aim to offer our customers the best services at the most affordable rates possible. In our efforts to grow more local content, we are providing a platform where more Ugandan content can be accessed by everyone.
