nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

NextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Uganda. Every plan labeled “Unlimited” in the catalogue has a fixed data cap, such as 1 GB or 2 GB per day, and includes a reduced speed tier (for example, 512 kbps after the limit is reached). Travelers who need more data than these predefined limits can choose from fixed‑data plans that offer larger allowances, such as the 20 GB 30 days Economy plan or the 20 GB 30 days plan with 5G support. These higher‑capacity options can be more cost‑effective for heavy data users compared to the limited “Unlimited” plans.

nextSIM does not provide a Uganda eSIM that offers a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available for Uganda from this provider.

Travelers can still use the data connection for messaging and voice over internet services. Popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage will work over the data connection and can be used for calls and messaging without a phone number or SMS capability.

nextSIM lists 27 single‑country data plans for Uganda and 32 multi‑country plans that include Uganda as part of a broader network. Prices for these options range from roughly $4.27 to $1, 264.60, while the data caps vary between 1 GB and 50 GB and validity periods span 1 to 30 days. Some plans are structured around a daily data allowance, while others offer a fixed data amount for the entire duration of the plan. The variety of coverage types and price points aims to accommodate both short‑term travellers and long‑term users looking for flexibility and budget options.
