eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Uganda. The plans listed as “Unlimited” actually come with a fixed data cap and a throttling policy once the allocation is used; for example, the “Unlimited eSIM Data For 1 Days in Uganda” provides 1 GB and when the limit is reached the speed drops to 500 kbps. Similar “Unlimited” titles for 3‑, 5‑, 7‑, 10‑, 15‑day periods also include a 1 GB/day allowance and a reduced speed of 500 kbps after the cap, while “Unlimited Plus” variants give 2 GB/day with 2000 kbps throttling.

If a larger data quantity is desired, eSIMCard offers fixed‑data plans that are not throttled, such as 100 GB for 180 days, 50 GB for 90 days, 25 GB for 30 days, and 20 GB for 30 days. These plans deliver the full data allowance without the “unlimited” label.

eSIMCard does not provide an Uganda eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available through the provider, so travelers using eSIMCard for Uganda will rely on data connections for communication. Popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage work over data and can be used for calls and messaging without a local phone number.

eSIMCard currently offers 18 single coverage data plans specifically for Uganda. Additionally, they provide 33 multi-country plans that include Uganda as part of their coverage. These plans vary, with some offering a fixed data allowance ranging from 1GB to 100GB, while others provide a daily data cap. Prices for these plans range from $6.99 to $478.46, and validity periods extend from 1 to 365 days. Some plans also include features like tethering, and may experience reduced speeds after reaching certain data thresholds, such as 500MB or 2000MB.
