How does our Uganda eSIM work?

An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.

Use a Uganda eSIM for instant travel data

Located in East Africa, Uganda is a bucket list destination for many people. You can see everything from snowy mountains to waterfalls, and get up close and personal with wildlife like chimpanzees, hippos, and gorillas.

While you’re in Uganda, it’s helpful to have mobile data so you can look up maps, book excursions, and stay in touch with everyone back home. A Uganda eSIM connects your device to a local network, giving you affordable prepaid mobile data.

How much travel data do I need with my Uganda eSIM?

Your data requirements in Uganda largely depend on your travel plans and personal usage. If you plan on enjoying the tropical outdoors and exploring the pristine beaches, you can’t rely on Wi-Fi availability.

The best thing about a Uganda eSIM is that it comes with flexible data plans, so you can start with a smaller package and top up as needed.

We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.

Will I pay roaming charges with a prepaid eSIM for Uganda?

Not at all. A Uganda eSIM is an affordable option that helps you save on roaming charges. With a Uganda eSIM, you won’t pay any roaming charges because it connects you directly to a local network.

To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.

FAQs about using a Uganda eSIM

Check my device

Most newer phones, tablets, and computers are already eSIM-compatible, so use our eSIM device checker to make sure you have a device that can accept an eSIM.

Free Wi-Fi is great when it’s available, safe, and working well, but some destinations make it just about impossible to get a good connection. That’s why it’s nice to have data as a backup to stay connected.

We’re proud to provide aloSIM customers with fast eSIM data connections that allow them to talk, text, surf, and stream comfortably. You’ll likely experience a 4G (sometimes 5G) or LTE equivalent network in most locations, depending on what’s available in the area.

Installation guides

We have detailed eSIM installation instructions for all compatible devices, so whether you’re looking to add eSIM data to an iPhone or iPad, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, or something else, we’ll be able to walk you through the eSIM set-up process easily.
