Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Uganda. The plans listed as “Safarilink – Unlimited” give a maximum of 3GB per day; once that amount is reached the speed throttles to 1000 kbps, so the plan is not unlimited in the sense of continuous high‑speed data.

Travelers can instead choose from fixed‑data plans that cover Uganda and a few neighbouring countries. For example, a 50 GB plan valid for 30 days costs $99.00, while a 20 GB plan valid for 15 days costs $52.50. These larger data allowances may offer a more cost‑effective option for users who need significant data without the speed reduction that accompanies the “Unlimited” names.

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 a total of 49 plans that include Uganda, split into 9 single‑country plans and 40 multi‑country plans. The single‑country options give you a fixed data amount for a set validity period, while the multi‑country plans bundle Uganda with other destinations and can use either a fixed data cap or a daily data cap, depending on the specific plan. Across all plans the prices range from about $6 to $119 and the data caps span from 1 GB to 50 GB.
