GulfData eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

GulfData does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Uganda. Their plans that carry the name “Unlimited” give 1GB per day at full speed, and after that limit the speed to 512 kbps; the data amount is therefore capped.

A traveler who needs a larger data allowance can choose one of GulfData’s fixed data plans, such as 10GB for 30 days or 20GB for 30 or 90 days. These plans grant the full quoted amount of high‑speed data within the stated validity period.

GulfData does not offer Uganda eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can only purchase data‑only eSIMs from this provider for use in Uganda. However, once the data connection is active, popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage can usually be used for voice and messaging. Some destinations may block or restrict these services, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps you rely on are accessible in Uganda before making a purchase.

GulfData offers a total of 27 data plans that can be used in Uganda. Among these, 8 plans are single‑country offerings that list only Uganda as the coverage area, while the remaining 19 plans are multi‑country packages that include Uganda along with several other destinations. The plans span a price range from about $9.50 to $197.50, with data sizes between 1 GB and 20 GB and validity periods from 1 day up to 365 days. Some plans deliver a fixed amount of data for the entire validity, while a smaller set of five plans are structured as daily data caps, providing a set amount of data each day of the plan’s duration. This variety allows travellers to choose between a straightforward data bundle or a daily‑cap option depending on their usage patterns.
