Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for Uganda. Every plan listed has a fixed data ceiling, either 1GB per day or 20GB for the entire validity period. The “Unlimited” tag in some plan names simply indicates a daily allowance that, once reached, throttles the connection speed to 512kbps.

Travelers who need a larger high‑speed data pool can choose one of Giga.Tel’s fixed‑data options. For example, the Global Special 20GB plan is valid for 365 days and costs $70.49 USD, the Discover Global 20GB plan is also 365 days and costs $80.99 USD, and the Global 20GB plan is available for 30 days at $143.99 USD. These fixed‑data plans are usually a more cost‑effective choice for users who are not extremely heavy data consumers.

Giga.Tel does not provide an eSIM plan for Uganda that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only eSIMs, so travelers using Giga.Tel in Uganda cannot make or receive regular voice calls or text messages through the network. Instead, users can rely on popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which function over the data connection and allow calls and messaging without a traditional phone number.

Giga.Tel offers 38 multi‑country plans that cover Uganda, with prices ranging from $6.99 to $195.99 and data caps between 1 GB and 20 GB. These plans are split into 8 daily‑data‑cap options and 30 fixed‑data‑cap options, so users can choose either a set amount of data or a daily quota that extends across the selected countries.
