Uganda eSIM Data Speed
Your data breaks out in Singapore, around 7,951 km from Uganda, adding roughly 80 ms of travel time. Browsing, maps, messaging and streaming are unaffected, though video calls and online gaming may feel slightly delayed. In return, this is the lowest price we can offer for Uganda.

About eSIMs in Uganda
Choose a Uganda eSIM with 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB of data, with validity options from 1 to 30 days. Unlimited data is also available, so you can match your plan to the length and style of your trip.
Coverage & networks
The eSIM connects to Airtel’s 5G network in Uganda. It is a local Uganda plan, so data coverage is for use within Uganda. Calls and texts are not included.
How much data you need
For light use such as messages, maps and occasional browsing, a smaller plan may be suitable. If you expect to use social media, upload photos or stream regularly, consider 5GB, 10GB or 20GB. Unlimited data is available for heavier usage. Plans are offered for 1, 3, 5, 7, 15 or 30 days.
Setting it up
Select the data amount and validity period that fit your trip, then install the eSIM using the provided instructions. You can top up the eSIM if you need more data during your stay.
