Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for Uganda

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data plan for Uganda. The plans that carry the label “Unlimited Data” actually offer a fixed data allowance per day—either 2GB/day or 3GB/day—and once that daily limit is reached the speed drops to a reduced rate of 2000kbps or 1000kbps.

As alternatives, Tourist eSIM offers fixed‑data plans that may be more cost effective for travelers who need a larger amount of data over a longer period, such as a 100GB plan valid for 180 days priced at $426.78 and an 80GB plan valid for 365 days priced at $170.97. These plans provide continuous high‑speed data without the daily throttling that applies to the so‑called unlimited plans.

Tourist eSIM does not provide an eSIM for Uganda that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only plans are available, and travelers cannot receive or send text messages or make voice calls using a Ugandan number.

Through a data connection, users can still employ messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which work without a phone number or SMS feature.

Tourist eSIM provides a range of options that include Uganda both as a single‑country offering and as part of multi‑country bundles. There are 7 single‑country plans available that cover Uganda, and 86 multi‑country plans that include Uganda among other destinations.

The plans are priced between $4.75 and $426.78, with data caps that span from 1 GB up to 100 GB. Among the single‑country offerings the majority use a fixed data cap model, where a set amount of data is allocated for the validity period, while a smaller selection offers a daily data cap that resets each day. The multi‑country plans follow the same structure, allowing travellers to pick either a fixed data bundle or a daily‑cap plan depending on their usage preferences.
