Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Uganda. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name all have a 1GB/day data cap; after the 1GB is used the speed is reduced to 512 kbps, so they are not unlimited in the sense of unlimited high‑speed data.

Instead, Giga.Tel offers fixed‑data plans that can be used as alternatives. For instance, the Global Special 20GB plan gives 20GB of high‑speed data for 365 days at a price of $70.49 USD, and the Discover Global 20GB plan provides a similar 20GB allowance for 365 days at $80.99 USD. These fixed plans may be more cost effective for travelers who need a larger amount of data but 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.
