Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

Airalo does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for Uganda. The plans that contain “Unlimited” in the name actually supply 3 GB of high‑speed data per day; after that limit the speed slows to 1000 kbps. For travelers who require larger data allowances, Airalo provides fixed‑data options such as the Safarilink 50 GB plan valid for 30 days or the Safarilink 20 GB plans valid for 15 or 30 days, which may be more cost‑effective if extensive data usage is anticipated.

Airalo does not provide an eSIM for Uganda that includes a local phone number or SMS capabilities. All eSIM offerings for Uganda from Airalo are data‑only plans, so travelers cannot receive or send text messages or make traditional voice calls using a local number.

With a data‑only Uganda eSIM, users can still communicate by using data‑based applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage. These VoIP services operate over the data connection and allow reliable messaging and voice calling without requiring a phone number or SMS functionality.

Airalo offers 9 single‑country data plans and 32 multi‑country packages that cover Uganda. The available plans range in price from about $6 to $119, with data caps that vary between 1 GB and 50 GB and validity periods that can be as short as 3 days or as long as a year. Within these offerings there are both daily data‑cap plans—where the data allowance is limited each day—and fixed data‑cap plans that provide a total amount of data to use over the entire validity period.
